Only one programme that I have seen had Day in heat 15, but I believe that to

be correct. This would have given the meeting three reserves.

Time 1st

89.0 2nd

This was the first official Speedway meeting held at

Yarmouth. There had been an attempt to introduce the sport

pre-war when two meetings were held in 1932, in a field

south of the present Stadium. This track that had been used

for two greyhound meetings, on Good Friday. The Waveney

Speed track at Bradwell had also held eleven meetings in that

same year. Both were unlicensed tracks and although

advertised as speedway they were grass tracks.

Ted Rawlinson was the winner of the very first race on the

new track, but he blew his chances of winning when he

crashed in his second race. It was Ted’s brother, Bert, who

won the meeting with 14 points.

Paddy Hammond was the unluckiest rider, as he was

excluded for crossing the white line in his first race.

Nevertheless Paddy was the only rider to beat the winner,

Bert Rawlinson.

During the meeting there were many spills, as the riders

tried to get to grips with the new track, in four heats only two

riders finished. None of the riders failed to score, and ten of

the sixteen riders won a race. The times varied, from the

fastest 81 seconds, set up by Bill Carruthers in heat 19. The

slowest time was in the next heat, won by Reg Morgan in

87.4.

The Yarmouth Mercury gave George Harper as scoring 5

points. In fact he scored 3 points, as he was replaced with the

reserves after falling in his second ride. Replacements,

Codling and Talbot, both scored a point.

Bill Williams was programmed as D. Williams (Dave) and

Harold Simms as E. Sims (Eric).

Two races were held in the second half, the first was won

by Phil Day, who replaced Bob Womack, in the slowest time

of the meeting 89.2. Bassey Davey was second, and he told

me “that the track was very bad with deep ruts”. Talbot third.

Bert Hudson, who had rode in 7 meetings for Norwich in

1939, and had scored 8+4 points for a match average of 1.71,

failed to finish

Bill Codling beat Billy Bales in the second, with no other

finishers. The programme had Bill Smith's name crossed out

in this race. Bill's real name was Charles Smith, but he could

not use his own name, as Reginald Derisley had changed his

name to Charlie, and Dick Wise had added the Smith. Day

failed to finish in this race.

As Per Programme

Yarmouth will long remember their trip to Poole for the

opening of the new track. Not only did they lose their

National Trophy match by 74 -32, but lost the services of

two riders early in the match. Poole also had a reverse when

their skipper Charlie Hayden was hurt in the opening race.

In the opening heart calamity befell both sides. Entering

the first bend, Charlie Hayden and Reg Craven appeared to

collide, and the latter was thrown heavily to the centre of the

track. Alf Elliott, who was close behind, had to lay his

machine down to avoid the fallen riders.

Hayden, was unable to ride again owing to abrasions and

slight shock, but Reg Craven was removed to hospital

critically injured, and was operated on for a serve fractured

skull. Up to Friday he had not regained consciousness, and

his condition was reported as "very grave."

In heat 3, Sid Hipperson fell and injured a foot, and had to

retire from the rest of the meeting, with the result Yarmouth

were faced with an uphill task.

Strengthened by the inclusions of ex-Harringay rider, Joe

Bowkis, Poole went on to record an easy victory, and only

Paddy Hammond, Roy Duke and Bill Carruthers offered any

resistance.

Hammond was Yarmouth's top scorer with 12 points and

he also set up the new track record in the first heat with a

time of 83.6 seconds This was easily the fastest as the next

best was in heat two by Alan Chambers at 86 Times varied

throughout the meeting, with the slowest being 107 seconds

in heat 13.

With fine weather, there was a big crowd at Rye House,

when the home team met a team from Yarmouth and, after a

thrilling match, won by 49-33.

Many fine races were witnessed and, although Yarmouth

could not call on a full team to represent them, P. Robinson

and Len Cooley came in to assist, and both rode well,

notching 9 and 8 points respectively. So pleased was Dick

Wise with the performance of Len Cooley, who has been a

member of the Training School at Rye House, that he

immediately signed him on to ride for Yarmouth.

Much interest was shown in the appearance of Billy Bales,

the 17-year-old produce of Norwich, but unfortunately he

fell heavily in his first ride and suffered a severely cut hand.

For Rye House, Arthur Flack, Sid Clarke, Alan Briggs and

Joe Bowkis all rode well, and Paddy Hammond showed how

much he has improved since riding for Yarmouth. On the

whole, a good meeting, with close racing, and enjoyed by a

large crowd.

I first became aware of this meeting when my friend, Glynn

Shailes, sent me some photo copies from the Speedway World,

concerning the death of Reg Craven and it also had a report of this

meeting,

This meeting was not mentioned in the Yarmouth programme, or

reported in the local press. It seemed that the Speedway World was

the only magazine to cover this meeting, possible because they ran

a training school there. Yet another reason could have been that

Sunday meetings were frowned upon in 1948, and this may well

have been why Yarmouth did not have a full side.

Billy Bales did not know if he should ride, because the meeting

was held on the Sunday. In the end he did ride, but at a cost, as in

his first ride he crashed into the corrugated iron fence and cut his

wrist very badly. He was told “just grin and bear it.” Billy carried

the scars for the rest of his days and he vowed never to ride on the

Sabbath again.

This was the only meeting that I did not have all the Yarmouth

scorers, and yet again Glynn came to my rescue with the

programme.

Yarmouth riders were in top form in this match. The Midlands team, who are bottom of the league, were under a handicap as they

arrived over half-an-hour late at the track, after a journey from Poole, where they had rode on the Monday night. A coach breakdown

in London had delayed them and they took to the Yarmouth track without any preparation of machines.

Even so it was a great win for Yarmouth who rode consistently well. After a shared first heat in which Morgan failed to finish,

because of machine trouble, they went into the lead at the second heat and never looked back. Paddy Hammond and Roy Duke were

Yarmouth’s best, but every rider, but one, was able to chalk up a win and eighteen-year-old Billy Bales, riding at reserve, notched six

points in two rides.

Harwood Pike, captain of Wombwell, was the visitors leading scorer and was the only rider to cause Yarmouth any serious worry.

Pike was the only Wombwell rider to beat Duke. The most exciting race of the night was heat seven when Stan Beardsall, after leading

throughout the four laps was pipped at the finish by Roy Duke, who made a grand last bend dash. Reg Morgan was only inches

behind.

A newcomer riding for Yarmouth was Doug Wells. He had no successes, but showed that he is no novice. Before the war he rode for

Hackney Wick. Last year he rode for Birmingham, but following two bad crashes retired temporarily from racing. He is now trying to

make a comeback and may become a regular of the Yarmouth team.

Some fast times were set in the second half, as some of the Norwich team tried out the Yarmouth track. Paddy Mills, who

set the fastest time of the meeting, also won a match race against Jack Freeman, which was an extra race. The fans certainly got their

money’s worth in this meeting as there was also an additional junior race making a total of ten races in the second half races and a

total for the evenings entertainment of twenty-four races.

Hull’s 51-33 success over Yarmouth was encouraging after a weeks long journeying which failed to yield that much needed first

away success. Dick Shepherd took over a new role as Hull’s top scorer with nine points, with Mick Mitchell and Bob Baker scoring 9

each.

Billy Bales was certainly the best rider of the meeting, he scored eleven points, and set up the fastest time of the meeting, only 1.6

seconds outside the track record. He dropped his only point when he was beaten by a wheel, by Derek Glover in the most thrilling duel

seen on the Hull track.

Bales scored a third of the Yarmouth total and was the only Yarmouth rider to win a race. Roy Duke and the two reserves, Bill

Carruthers and Ted Rawlinson scored four points each. Reg Morgan, Paddy Hammond and Bert Rawlinson with three each and Bert

Rawlinson with a point were the other scorers.

Once again at Hull Yarmouth started the meeting well, with Billy Bales and Roy Duke scoring a 4-2 that put them ahead in heat 2 by

7-5. A 5-1 for Hull was countered with a Bales and Bert Rawlinson 5-1 in the next heat. Then Bob Baker and George Craig put Hull

3 41 3 37Eastfield Scratch Race


It was Jim Henry who found this interesting meeting. It’s a pity that no unplaced riders were given, but with the race format I haveworked out the results. A Norwich V Yarmouth meeting had been cancelled because of heavy rain on 4 July 1948, so it would seemthat this was the restaged meeting. But both teams had juniors riding for them.

The Norwich team consisted of their star rider Paddy Mills, with the up and coming Phil Clarke and Jack Freeman, plus the legtailing pre-war veteran Ted Bravery. Tip Mills also rode and he was then attached to Middlesborough, but was also riding regular atEastfields. The rest of the side were riders who were getting rides in the second half at Norwich and Yarmouth. Bill Codling had rodefor Yarmouth at Poole on the previous Tuesday. Phil Day was to get a few rides for Yarmouth towards the end of the season. GeorgeHarper had rode for the short-handed Bloaters in the second leg of the National Trophy tie with Poole at Yarmouth.

Yarmouth's last meeting before this had been at Poole on 3 August. Bert Rawlinson, Roy Duke had been included as full teammembers, with Fred Rogers at reserve. The other reserve was Bill Codling, who rode for Norwich. Bill Carruthers had been droppedfrom the team, but he did regain a team spot later in the season.

Bert Hudson had rode in a few meetings for Norwich pre-war and was a second halfer at the Firs after the war. He had just one rideat Yarmouth. That was in the first race of the second half of the first meeting. He failed to finish in a race won by Bob Womack, in avery slow time of 89 seconds. Bassey Davey was second, and he said that the track was very rutted by then, and that they had a jobgetting round. Joe Talbot was third in this race

Lionel Stranger had rode for Birmingham among other teams pre-war. But I have no idea who Bill Greaves was! Buster Yeomanwas in fact Arthur Selby who was a well-known grass track rider.

Crasher Franks rode in the second half and he was to surface at Kings Lynn grass speedway at Saddlebow in the early 50's, wellbefore the track became the home of the Kings Lynn Stars.

During the 1940’s there was still a thing that no sport should take place on the Sabbath and several riders would not ride because ofthat on a Sunday. One of them was Yarmouth’s young star Billy Bales. He had rode earlier in the season in a challenge match at RyeHouse, and was injured in his first race. After this he vowed never to ride again on a Sunday. He did relent just once, as he rode in thevery first official meeting held At Kings Lynn. After he retired he was persuaded by Cyril Crane to make a comeback for Boston. Hisfirst meeting would have been at Eastbourne, but as he would have to ride on Sunday, he pulled out at the last minute.

This meeting was postponed on Friday 6th August and for the fans that had bought a programme from the original meeting, there would have been a

few alterations. The Wombwell management stated in the programme “That they had tried to get the same team for this meeting, but owing to Harry

Saunders going back to Tamworth and two new men for Womwell, Jack Baxter and Charlie Oakes, it had been necessary to do some rearranging of the

team.”. Yarmouth’s team had also altered as Billy Bales was out injured and Fred Rogers, who had been programmed as Red Rogers in the original

programme, had moved to Norwich.

The management apologised for this and had to have new programmes printed, that all added to their expenses. Even so, there was still one alteration,

as Len Tupling, who the programme said “Had cleaned up on the Rotherham Grass.” Unfortunately in his next grass track meeting Len had sustained a

very serious hand injury, which was to end his Speedway career.

Yarmouth started the match well with their captain, Sid Hipperson, winning the first race and Reg Morgan and Roy Duke getting a 3-3 in heat 2. Stan

Beardsall won heat 3, in the fastest time of the meeting and with Charlie Oakes third the Colliers took the lead. They increased it to four points going

into heat 6, but Roy Duke and Reg Morgan gained a 4-2 to bring the Bloaters back to two behind 19-17. In this race Beardsall did not score and, as he

won his other three races its probable that he was a non-finisher.

After this heat Yarmouth fell away and it was not the very last heat that they managed a 5-1 that was gained by the very experienced Paddy Hammond

and Sid Hipperson. With the Bales and Rogers in the team Yarmouth would certainly have done better as Hewitt and Codling scored just one point

between them

MY STRUGGLE -

This meeting was never reported in the Speedway press. Most of the Wombwell meetings were reported in the Wombwell editions of The East York’s

Times, but the Barnsley Library informed me there was no report at all of this meeting. As the meeting was rearranged and held on the Monday, instead

of the usual Friday, it could well have been that me reporter was sent by the paper, and in all probability he also sent the details to the Speedway press,

hence no reports. The Yarmouth Mercury, who gave a very brief report and the scorers. I had tried very hard for over a year to get the heat details of this

meeting without luck. The Speedway Researcher came to my rescue, by printing my request and I received a phone call from Barry Stevenson of

Workington. It seems that Barry saves a programme from each track for every season and I was in luck as he had this one in his collection and so a last I

was able to complete my heat details for every Yarmouth meeting, home and away, but what a struggle it had been. Later Jim Henry came up with the

This was the last of the disasters four-match tour, which had seen the team lose at

Coventry 54-29, Exeter 60-24 and Southampton 62-21.

At the start of this match Yarmouth seemed likely to provide some opposition as they

shared the first two heats and at heat 8 were just ten points adrift. They then fell away

badly as in the last six heats they scored just eight points, as they lost again, 57-27. It was

however their best result of the tour but it was still another thrashing to lose by 30 points.

Of the fourteen heats the Devils won ten and the remaining four were shared.

Billy Bales was Yarmouth top rider with 10 points and he was the only Yarmouth heat

winner. Len Read beat him in a very fast time of 80.6 in heat 2. He then upset Plymouth’s

outstanding pair-Pete Lansdale and Alex Grey-who were beaten by the teenage wizard in

heat 6 in the fastest time of the meeting, 80.4. Bales also won heat 8 before Peter

Robinson beat him in another fast time of 81 seconds in heat 10.

Bert Rawlinson was unfit to ride and his place was taken by the reserve Arthur Bush,

who scored just one point in heat 13. Bill Codling, and Phil Day who had rode at

Plymouth in 1947, rode at reserves, but both failed to score.

Both Robinson and Read scored maximum points. Len Read had rode for Norwich in

1946-47 before he gained a place at Plymouth and he still lived in the city. If Len had

stayed at Norwich he would almost certainly have rode for the Bloaters, and how the weak

Yarmouth side could have done with him during the 1948 season.

This was the last programme that I did not have all the heat details and it was Len who

kindly let me borrow his programme to complete my records

YARMOUTH’S SPEEDWAY SEASON ENDS

FIREWORKS BUT NO VICTORY

1 37 5 46

Six months of Speedway racing at the Caister Road track came to an end on Tuesday evening. It will resume again next Easter.

There was a crowd of 7,000 to help bring down the curtain of Yarmouth's first season as a member of Division 3 of the National Speedway

League. There were also free ice-creams for the children and an excellent display of fireworks, but the Yarmouth team did not rise to the occasion

and lost it's League match with Coventry 37-46. Sid Hipperson was unable to ride due to a bad crash, that he took last week, and Bill Codling took

his place.

After the excellent win of the previous week, the defeat by Coventry was unexpected, for on their last visit to the East Coast the Midland team

were beaten 60-23, Yarmouth’s biggest win of the season. It was attributable more to bad luck that to outstanding riding by the visitors, who

admittedly, also had a measure of misfortune. In all but two of the fourteen heats a rider either had a spill or engine trouble, and in nine of those a

Yarmouth rider was affected. The only serious injury, however, was to the Coventry rider Derek Tailby, who crashed after winning heat thirteen and

was carried off with a torn cartilage.

After Carruthers and Bush had scored a 5-1 in the second heat, Yarmouth went in arrears in the next race. Codling crashed and Morgan's engine

failed in the re-run. The result was in doubt until two heats from the end but Yarmouth never recovered.

Rawlinson toped scored for the Bloaters with 10. Bush did well to score 7+2. Carruthers scored 7. For Coventry Bert Lacy 10+1 dropped just one

point to Billy Bales, while Fletcher 10, was beaten by Rawlinson and Morgan.

Norwich outclassed Yarmouth in a four-heat challenge in the second half, with Paddy Mills and Phil Clarke in tremendous form winning every

heat.

Only three Yarmouth riders in this, the last meeting of the season, had rode in the first team meeting at Hull. They were Bert Rawlinson, Bill

Carruthers, and Roy Duke. Of the former Norwich riders, that had formed the team at the start of the season, only Duke was left. But he had

completely lost his form and riding at reserve he failed to score, which was rather sad, as he had been a good team man and he had deserved better.
