IT’S seven from heaven!
We have a blistering end to the Cab Direct Championship with seven HUGE clashes in October.
Three trophies being lifted, champagne corks popping and fireworks blasting into the sky will all happen live on the British Speedway Network.
It all kicks off with the second leg of the Championship play-off semi-final, second leg on Sunday with Redcar taking on Poole.
The Bears are just six points down after the first leg as they bid to dethrone the defending champions.
In a dramatic twist, the Pirates go into the clash without No.1 Richard Lawson, who has stepped down on compassionate grounds. The Dorset club bring in Adam Ellis as a powerhouse guest.
It is Poole’s bid for a remarkable 14th final since returning to the second tier in 2021.
Pirates boss Danny Ford admits missing Lawson is a huge blow. He said: “Richard is our talisman, one of, if not the best riders in the league and of course he’s a huge miss, especially on a night like this. But Adam understands the importance of the occasion and he is absolutely up for the task.”
That’s the first of three mouthwatering clashes between the Bears and Pirates.
It’s swiftly followed by a return to Wimborne Road as Poole host Redcar in the first leg of the MAXiCab KO Cup final and just 48 hours later it’s the decider on Teesside.
Even after those red-hot battles, there are still four HUGE events to come.
The Grand Final of the Cab Direct Championship between Poole and Glasgow will be shown on BSN on Wednesday, October 15 and Friday, October 17.
Likewise the BSN Series final between Redcar and Poole will take place at the ECCO Arena on Saturday, October 18 with the deciding leg at Poole Stadium on Wednesday, October 22.
What an epic month ahead!
