Wightlink Warriors will look to pick up where they left off when speedway returns to Smallbrook Stadium tonight (Thursday).

Round 2 of the Nora No Brakes Racing League will see riders take part in a four team competition against sides from Plymouth, Cradley and Sittingbourne.

Following a winning start in Round 1 at Iwade, the Warriors return to Smallbrook with a four-point advantage over second place Cradley.

The side will be without Rhys Naylor, who picked up a wrist injury in last week’s home win over Rye House.

The Warriors will bring in Brayden McGuinness to replace him. He'll line-up with Ben Morley, George Congreve, and Arran Butcher.

The Warriors are going to face some serious challenges as the visiting sides have lined up impressive fire power.

Plymouth have drafted in Nora British Open Champion Jason Edwards.

While Sittingbourne have moved quickly to bring in last week’s star turn Steve Boxall.

And Cradley have former Warriors Alfie Bowtell and Connor Coles leading their charge.

Looking ahead to the meeting, Warriors co-owner Barry Bishop said: “After last week’s classic opener, I think we have another fantastic meeting to look forward to.

"Ben, Rhys, George, and Arran rode so consistently at Iwade in Round 1 and I know that they have no intention of giving away that hard fought lead."

The round 1 result was as followed: IOW 32, Cradley 28, Sittingbourne 22, Plymouth 14.

Tonight, gates open at 5.15pm.

Demonstration races start from 6.10pm and the main event starts at 7pm.
