Young
Ray Wilson was a non-starter for the Archers with Ken Adams promoted from reserve,
and his place taken by Eric Minall who was returning to the saddle after a lengthy retirement!
Led by ex-West Ham rider Ray Cresp the Archers were experiencing a
tough start to the season and had already lost riders through injury.
Tommy Roper was the Archers solitary heat winner in heat 2 as the Tigers set about
demolishing them, still on a high following the clubs first ever victory over the Belle
Vue Aces one week previously, in front of the 'World of Sport' tv cameras.
