Heathens back on speedway trophy trail

Cradley will have two home and away trophy ties before the tapes go up on their National League speedway campaign.

The Heathens clash with Midlands rivals Coventry for the Travel Plus Trophy and contest the National League Shield with King's Lynn.

Then it's the showpiece British Under-21 final at Monmore on Tuesday, April 15 before Cradley begin their defence of the league crown with a trip to Coventry on Monday, April 21.

Another individual highlight will be the traditional Golden Hammer meeting which takes place on Tuesday, July 29.
