Published Date:

TEENAGE rider Simon Lambert, reserve for the Lynn Money Centre Stars speedway team, is aiming to carry on his scintillating early season form by winning the British Under 21 qualifying round on his home track tonight (Wednesday) at 7.30pm.
The meeting will feature some of the UK's hottest young talent and will be by no means a walk in the park for Lambert, who has bagged two maximums for Lynn already this season.
Other highly-rated youngsters such as Andrew Tully from Edinburgh, Joe Haines and Charles Wright, both from Workington, are also fancied by many.
The meeting will feature 20 qualifying heats, with the two top scorers going directly into the final.
The next four will go into a LCQ (last chance qualifier) for their chance of also making the final.
Lambert said: "I have been working hard on preparing for this meeting.
"I want the chance to become British Under 21 champion and if I can keep winning races and stay confident then it's definitely possible.
"First things first though and this meeting is the important one as it is my only way of getting to the final.
"With only the top three qualifying, it will be tough. It would be great if all the Boston and Lynn fans were there to support me and give me the encouragement that I need."
Admission prices are as normal. Adults £12, concessions £8, juniors 12-15yrs £4 and kids 11 years and under free.
Britsh Under 21 Qualifyer line-up: 1 Richie Dennis, 2 Byron Bekker, 3 Scott Whittington, 4 Sam Martin, 5 Joe Haines, 6 Andrew Tully, 7 Guy Kendrew, 8 Jerran Hart, 9 Kieran Morris, 10 Adam Lowe, 11 Sean Stoddart, 12 Scott Richardson, 13 Scott Campos, 14 Charles Wright, 15 Simon Lambert, 16 Ben Hannon.
Reserve: Richard Franklin.
