Wolves rider out injured

Wolves speedway ace David Howe is out of action after breaking his collarbone for the second time this season.

Howe suffered the injury in Workington's Cumberland Classic Individual event on Saturday. It rules him out of Wolves' next meeting at Monmore Green on Monday, October 8, when Parrys International Wolves face Elite League championship hopefuls Coventry and Ipswich in the Craven Shield three-team event.

The group winners go through to the final.

The Bees, great rivals with Wolves down the years, have been in remarkable form in recent weeks and include British Grand Prix stars Scott Nicholls and Chris Harris, who won the Millennium Stadium round of the GP series in June.

Ipswich include Chris Louis, who is showing some of the best form of his career, and former world under-21 champion Robert Miskowiak.

A week later, October 15, Monmore again stage the Banks's Olympique individual event which features the unique handicap format.

If a rider wins a race he goes back 20-metres at the start of his next outing - and so on!

Ludvig Lindgren, the teenage brother of Wolves star Freddie, has agreed to race in the event alongside young Dane Nicolai Klindt, the only confirmed starter in next season's Wolves line-up.

On October 22, there's a visit from Birmingham in West Midlands Shield action with the return at Perry Barr 48-hours later.
