ROYNON TO MAKE REDCAR DEBUT

The Monarch Oxford Cheetahs have signed Adam Roynon as a temporary 28 day cover for the injured Henry Atkins. Roynon will make his debut tomorrow night (Friday) when the Cheetahs travel to Redcar in a vital Cab Direct Championship clash.

Atkins, broke a finger earlier in the season and has had to have surgery to fix the injury. Currently sidelined, he will be out of action for at least a further month and options for guests at reserve are extremely limited.

Roynan, who is thirty five years old, has been a speedway regular since his junior days riding for such clubs as Workington, Redcar, Kings Lynn, Poole and Coventry. He was a part of the 2023 Poole Pirates side and had made a great start to the season before being injured at Edinburgh, breaking his shoulder in four places.

Since then, he has been filling his time with the British Speedway Network, a regular presenter from their pitside studio.

Team Manager Peter Schroeck explained the reasoning behind the move. He said:
“Adam fits the bill and we know he can come in and do the job for Cheetahs.
“It’s been hard getting hold of suitable guests for Henry, while our thanks goes to Jacob Hook who did a great job in the several meetings he came in for us.  
“With Henry still due to be out for a while, we had to make a move to make sure we maintain our push for the play-offs in the Cab Direct Championship and that is to bring in Adam for an initial spell of 28 days.”

The Cheetahs will also be without Ashton Boughen who is on TeamGB call-up in the Under 19 Pairs Championship taking place in Poland. Jody Scott, who has taken over as number one with the Oxford Chargers, will take his place.

Oxford Speedway can also confirm that they have agreed a new date for the Premiership B fixture at home to Ipswich, and they will visit Sandy Lane on Thursday 04 July at the usual time of 7.30pm.
