THE CURRENT WORLD NUMBER 2 IS ON LOAN, FOR THE SEASON, EASTBOURNE ND WILL PROVIDE THE IWADE TEAM WITH A TOUCH OF CLASS. PETER IA A TWO-TIME WORLD CHAMPION AND WILL BE LOOKING TO QUALIFY FOR THE GRAND PRIX SEASONS AGAIN THIS SEASON.

WITH DENMARK NO LONGER IN THE INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE HE SHOULD HAVE MORE TIME TO CONCENTRATE ON LEAGUE DUTIES.

 

 

JONATHAN FOX(31) ENGLAND GSA 7.90

JONATHAN WAS BORN IN FLEETWOOD AND HAS RIDDEN FOR HIS HOME-TOWN CLUB FOR MOST OF HIS CAREER BUT, WITH THE SURPRISE CLOSURE OF FLEETWOOD SHARKS AT THE END OF LAST SEASON SOME EXPERTS THOUGHT HE MAY CHOOSE RETIREMENT, HOWEVER HE IS STILL GOOD A RIDER FOR THAT AND DECIDED TO PLY HIS TRADE WITH THE COLTS.

HE IS A FORMERM WORLD UNDER 21 CHAMPION AND BRITISH CHAMPION ALSO AND AS SUCH SHOULD GO VERY WELL IN THE 3RD DIVISION.

 

 

 

DALE WOODWARD(37) ENGLAND 7.39



 

 



SHEFFIELD BORN DALE HAS RIDDEN IN ALL BUT ONE OF THE TWENY SEASONS THAT THE SOVEREIGN LEAGUE AS TAKEN PLACE. DURING THAT TIME HE HAS RIDDEN FOR SEVERAL TEAMS, BEEN bRITISH CHAMPION AND REPRESENTED HIS COUNTRY.

HAVING RIDDEN FOR THE SAME MANAGEMENT AT BIRCHINTON IN DIVISION 1 LAST SEASON HE SHOULD BE MORE THAN CAPABLE OF BIG SCORES FOR HIS NEW TEAM AND WILL BE INSPIRED BY BEING IN THE SAME TEAM AS P.C.

 

OLIVER ROODENBURG(35) AUSTRALIA GSA 6.42

 

OLLIE, AS HE IS AFFECTIONATELY BY HIS BRITISH FANS, HAILS FROM SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA AND HAS RIDDEN HERE SEVERAL TIMES DURING THE PAT 10 SEASONS. WITHOUT A CLUB WITH THE CLOSURE OF BIRCHINGTON HE WAS ALLOCATED TO IWADE AND SHOULD PROVE A SOLID ADDTION TO THE SECOND STRING RANKS.

 

 

ALEXANDER KOMLJENOVIC(25) SLOVENIA GSA 5.50

"SANDA THE PANDA" IS THE RIDER THAT THE COLTS HOPED WOULD BE ALLOCATED TO THEM AS HE SHOWED HIS UNDOUBTED POTENTIAL AT BIRCHINGTON LAST SEASON AND AS SUCH IWADE BELIEVE THAT THIS COULD BE HIS BREAK-THROUGH SEASON ESPECIALLY WITH ALL THE EXPIERIENCED RIDERS AROUND HIM.

ALSO, THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT WITH HIS BOYISH GOOD LOOKS HE WILL BE A FIRM FAVOURITE WITH THE FEMALE FANS!

 

 

RYAN PALIN(22) SCOTLAND GSA 4.11

RYAN, WHO IS A FORMER BRITISH AND WORLD UNDER 19 CHAMPION AND MULIPLE WORLD UNDER 21 CHAMPION, HAILS ROM SCUNTHORPE AND IS SPENDING THIS SEASON WITH IWADE WHILST ON LOAN FROM EASTBOURNE.

HIS STAR HAS BEEN RISING SINCE HE STARTED RIDING AT THE AGE IOF 15 WITH HOUSTON, BUT HIS CAREER REALLY TOOK A STEP FORWARD WHEN HE JOINED THE SEAGULLS ON HIS 18TH BIRTHDAY. HE HAS HAD LOAN SPELLS WITH BOTH CRADLEY AND WILLENHALL IN RECENT SEASONS, BUT IT IS HOPED THAT A SPELL IN THE 3RD DIVISION WILL IGNITE HIS CAREER ONCE AGAIN1

 

 

KEVIN PAYNE(31) ENGLAND GSA 3.75

AFTER SEVERAL SEASONS WITH DOVER SPITFIRES THE MARGATE BORN RIDER HAS RIDDEN FOR SEVERAL OTHER TEAMS IN THE SOVEREIGN LEAGUE AND HAS PROVED TO BE A USEFUL RESERVE, ESPECIALLY IN THE LOWEST DIVISION AND A RETURN TO HIS FAVOURITE COUNTY SHOULD OUT A SKIP IN HIS STRIDE AND AS SUCH KEVIN IS REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO LIFE AT HIS NEW HOME TRACK AFTYER HIS PRE-SEASON TRANSFER FROM NEWLY PROMOTED CLAYGATE.

 

 

 

LEE NUTTER(21) ENGLAND GSA 3.00

LEE HAS HAD A FEW DIFFERENT CLUBS SINCE STARTING AS AN APPRENTICE WITH NORWICH AT THE AE OF 15. TWO SEASONS WITH EXETER WAS FOLLOWED  BY A SEASON WITH CRADLEY HEATH AND THEN A SPELL AT DEVON WERE HE DOUBLED HIS JUNIOR AVERAGE LAST TERM.

HE WAS MORE THAN HAPPY TO MOVE ON AGAIN WHEN THE COLTS CAME IN WITH THEIR BID AS THIS GAVE HIM A CHANCE TO WORK WITH THE LIKES OF PETER CARL AND JONATHAN FOX AND FIGHT FOR ONE OF IWADE'S RESERVE BERTHS.

 

GARRY BOWMAN(18) ENGLAND GSA 3.00

 

GARRY MADE STEADY PROGRESS IN HIS THREE SEASONS WITH DUDLEY TIGERS AND IT WAS HIS SHOWING IN LAST SEASON'S BRITISH UNDER 19'S COMPETITION, 2ND IN THE SEMI-FINAL FOLLOWED BY 9TH IN THE FINAL, THAT CONVINCED THE IWADE MANAGEMENT THAT THEY SHOULD BID FOR HIM.

HAVING BEATEN OFF A COUPLE OF CLUB'S FOR GARRY'S SIGNATURE THEY HOPE THAT THIS IS HIS BREAK-THROUGH SEASON AND HE BECOMES A FORCE TO BE RECKONED WITHIN THE ACADEMY LEAGUE.
