Rockets All Set
The Rye House Rockets have completed their line up for the new Premier League Speedway season. The League Champions have retained the services of 5 of the riders that led them to their first title in 25 years. Stuart Robson, Edward Kennett, Chris Neath, Steve Boxall and Tommy Allen will all be returning to Hoddesdon this summer. The new additions to the squad are Elmside Raider Luke Bowen and 17 year old Jamie Courtney. Bowen is likely to create a lot of local interest as he hails from nearby Harlow, he earnt his chance thanks to some stunning performances at Conference level. Courtney becomes the third member of his family to represent the Rockets after Dad Mark and Uncle Sean. He joins on a full transfer from the Isle of Wight but is no stranger to the Hoddesdon circuit having made his debut there for the Elmside Raiders when only 15.
