Kennett Bids Farwell In Style
Edward Kennett took the Ace of Herts Trophy in front of a bumper crowd at Rye House and then announced his intention to quit the Premier League Rockets next season in order to concentrate on Elite League racing. Kennett beat former favourite Davy Watt in an exciting final which proved a fitting finale to what has been a traumatic season for the Hoddesdon club. Injuries having forced promoter Len Silver to use 21 riders throughout the course of the campaign. The crowd were given a taste of what's to come when racing resumes on 3rd March 2007 as new signing Tai Woffinden earned a place in the semi finals before bowing out. Kennett who wore the letter L on his kevlars proved a worthy champion and afterwards Team Manager John Sampford said " He has achieved everything he can at this level and he's going to be a difficult man to replace."

Patched Up Superblues Crash Out
Hertford 20 Macclesfield 32
A Superblues side missing a host of first team players including influential Fly Half Kieran Davies ultimately proved no match for their Division Three North opponents. Leading 20-13 at the break thanks to a brace from Charlie Thomas and a Ben Storey try close to half time it looked as if Hertford might carve out an unlikely victory. The visitors though who went in front after only 3 minutes when Tony Howcroft crashed over the line put together 19 unanswered second half points to ensure a place in round two. Skipper Ross Winney was the star of the show scoring 22 points including a stunning 40 metre drop goal after 63 minutes. Hertford must now regroup for the visit of Southend in the league next Saturday.

Rockets Beat Rivals To Sign Dynamic Duo
Rye House Rockets fans were given a major boost ahead of tonights A11 challenge against Mildenhall with the news that two of the hottest prospects in British Speedway will be wearing their colours next year. Promoter Len Silver announced that both 16 year old Tai Woffinden and 18 year old Adam Roynon had pledged their future to the Hertfordshire club. Roynon is the reigning Conference League Riders Champion and impressed before breaking an ankle against the Isle of Wight in September. Woffinden who's father Rob rode for the club has had clubs queing up for his signature after an excellent season with Conference League Champions Scunthorpe. On the track the Rockets easily overcame their East Anglian rivals for the 5th time this season winning 62-32 with both Chris Neath and Steve Boxall only beaten once by an opponent.

Bad Day At The Office
Stevenage Borough 0 Northwich 2
Despite dominating proceedings at Broadhall Way Stevenage Borough were caught out by two decisive breaks from their opponents as they stumbled to a 2-0 defeat. Borough had enough possession to put the result beyond doubt but failed to produce any clear-cut opportunities. They were made to pay the price for defensive uncertainty as Northwich secured their fourth away win of the season. A Stuart Elliott penalty awarded after Jon Nurse had fouled Louis Dodds put the visitors in front after 19 minutes. Dodds low shot doubling their advantage 50 minutes later.

Saints Humbled
St Albans 0 Grays 6
Colin Lippiatt will no doubt want to forget all about this one as soon as possible. His Saints side were comprehensively outplayed by a rampant Grays line up that showed St Albans no mercy. It took 41 minutes for the visitors to take the lead through Michael Kightly, but it was a four goal burst in nine second half minutes that killed off Saints. Adam Green added number two after 55 minutes before Glen Poole and Aaron Mclean both helped themselves to a brace to compound the home fans misery.

High Drama At The Park
Ware 0 Enfield 0
Ware bowed out of the FATrophy at the first attempt on a controversial afternoon at Wodson Park. Tenants Enfield rode their luck as the Blues hit the woodwork three times and had an injury time penalty decision reversed. Questions will also be asked about the goal that divided the two teams when Ware keeper Anthony Anstead looked to be pushed before carrying Owen Beal’s 14th minute corner over his own goal line. The Blues should have been in front by then Joe Stevens volley from Sam Roses’s long pass deserving a better fate than to bounce off the crossbar. Stevens was again denied by the woodwork as the half ran out his subtle flick decieving keeper Paul Daley only for the left hand post to come to Enfields rescue. Chris Ellerbeck was the next to test the goal frame crunching a shot against the bar from the left hand side of the box after 58 minutes. The major talking point came in injury time when Ware were awarded a penalty by referee Muge after John Frendo was pulled down in the box. Before Joe Stevens could take the spot kick the referee consulted his assistant producing a red card for an off the ball incident involving Ware skipper Danny Wolf. As Stevens put the ball on the spot for the second time the referee again consulted his assistant and reversed his original decision giving Enfield a free kick much to the amazement of the Ware bench. There was a further five minute delay as players and officials argued their case but this time the referees mind was made up and Enfield went through.

Codicote have now lost their last three after going down 3-0 to Whitewebbs for the second week running. Kebworth failed to capitalise on last weeks goal spree losing 2-1 at London Lions Adam Lamacroft on target for Park.
In Division One Lemsford remain on top after a 6-4 win against Chipperfield Chris Jones notching a hattrick.
