SPEEDWAY: Seventeen-year-old Grundisburgh-based rider Joe Jacobs is riding a prestigious meeting in the Czech Republic tomorrow October 1.

He is competing in the Golden Ribbon event at Pardubice in Czechoslovakia having returned to racing last month with Rye House Cobras following the closure of Mildenhall Fen Tigers.

The Ipswich Witches asset recently took part in a 12 hour ‘Marathon on Wheels Challenge’ at Monmouth Court Nursing Home, Ipswich where he tried out a few new ways of getting around and was joined by Witches promoter John Louis.
