The
Tigers called upon Swindon's Martin Ashby as a guest for Reg Wilson who had
broken his leg in a crash at Wolverhampton, and utilized rider replacement for
Arnold Haley who had injured his shoulder riding for Great Britain in Poland
the previous week. Taffy Owen was named as our No.8 but he didn't get a ride.
The Falcon's had recently strengthened their team with the addition of Australian
John Titman who joined them from the Halifax Dukes. He lined up alongside fellow
countrymen Geoff Mudge and Steve Reinke, American Scott Autrey and Englishmen
Kevin Holden and Chris Julian. Kiwi supremo Ivan Mauger skippered the side but
they were unable to repeat their Championship winning form of the previous season.
The reigning League Champions had already knocked Sheffield, the 1974 KO
Cup Winners, out of this seasons KO Cup by beating us 81-75 in the preliminary
round and probably fancied their chances in the League as well. Veteran Cornishman
Chris Julian failed to open his account, while Ivan rode unbeaten and also lowered
Phil Crump's 11 month old track record. John Titman was the only other Falcon
to win a race and after ten shared heats it was Nicky Allott and Carl Glover's
5-1 in heat 8 which proved decisive. Indeed the Tigers should consider themselves
lucky as John Titman was lying second in the last heat and set to draw the match
when he suffered a cruel mechanical breakdown.
Taffy Owen won the second-half junior final from Billy Burton, Les Glover
and Bernard Hornby. Ivan continued on his winning ways taking the senior final
ahead of Carl Glover, Doug Wyer and Craig Pendlebury.
