Hereford 2 Stevenage Borough 0
Any fleeting chance Stevenage Borough had of trying to catch run away Conference leaders Accrington was removed at Edgar Street where goals from teenagers Andy Williams and Stuart Fleetwood condemned Grahsm Westley's side to their 9th league defeat of the season.

George Boyd had Stevenage's best chance producing a fine save from home keeper Wayne Brown. Borough stay 4th in the table 17 points off the top.

Stevenage Borough gave their promotion hopes a huge boost with victory over fellow contenders Morecambe. Jon Nurse's first-half goal allowed them to leap-frog their opponents into third place. From a free-kick, Nurse worked himself into a one-on-one with Steven Drench and then lobbed the advancing keeper. Morecambe thought they had equalised when Garry Thompson's point-blank effort looked to have crossed the line before goalkeeper Alan Julian cleared.

Rocket's Land Grand Prix Qualifier
Rye House Rockets management were delighted with the news that the club has been chosen to host a Qualifying Round for the Championship of Great Britain on Saturday April 22nd. Changes in the rules for the Speedway Grand Prix Series now mean that all riders outside the top 8 have to qualify for a place in the world championship. The meeting will be one of the biggest to be staged at the Hoddesdon track and Promoter Len Silver is already looking for a sponsor. The fixture means the Rockets will now begin the defence of their Premier League Title a month early when the Sheffield Tigers are the visitors on Saturday March 25th.
