Kinsley Delivers Five Star Show On Return!

The Mildenhall Fen Tigers proudly sponsored by Manchetts Rescue and Recovery strengthened their play off hopes with a fine 51-38 victory over the Kent Kings.

On his return to the Fen Tigers, Ryan Kinsley produced a display of style and power as he romped to an immaculate fifteen point maximum featuring his traditiona  blasts around the outside. With excellent support from Charlie Brooks and the rest of the side all chipping in with at least a paid win the Fen Tigers were able to cope with the loss of captain Matt Marson following a scary first bend collision in heat eight.

Young Fen Tiger reserve Elliot Kelly and his opposite number in the Kent side Jacob Clouting tangled going into the first bend and picked up Marson who was racing on the outside. Marson withdrew with a wrist injury and the unlucky Kings lost Clouting from the remainder of the meeting. Already operating rider replacement, the Kings had lost their other reserve, Luke Barnes, after falls in the first two heats and had to ride four heats with only three riders. The plucky visitors held onto the Tigers tails until heat thirteen and impressive displays from Dan Gilkes, guest Joe Lawlor and Jordan Jenkins always kept the meeting interesting with some fine racing. As well as Kinsley’s blasts there was some excellent passes from Brooks, Connor Coles and Henry Atkins to enjoy.

Tigers Aim To Dethrone Kings En Route To Playoffs

After another rain off at Plymouth this Friday, the Mildenhall Fen Tigers proudly sponsored by Manchetts Rescue and Recovery welcome in fellow Play Off hopefuls the Kent Kings to Mildenhall Stadium on Sunday (3pm start).

The Kings have already won at the home of the Fen Tigers this season, by one point in the National Trophy, but the Fen Tigers have improved considerably since then and are now a much different proposition as last week’s backs to the wall victory over the Isle of Wight proved. The Fen Tigers will be without British U19 Championship runner up Jason Edwards who is on a three day tour with his Championship club and draft in ex Fen Tigers captain Connor Coles, whilst Danny Ayres injury replacement Ryan Kinsley makes his return to the Fen Tigers line up. Henry Atkins hurt his wrist during the British U19 Championship Final at Redcar but is hopeful of being fit to ride.

Kent have problems of their own with Alex Spooner, Rob Ledwith and Nathan Ablitt all currently missing from their line-up and Drew Kemp away with his Championship side Sheffield. Joe Lawlor guests for Kemp with rider replacement being utilized for Rob Ledwith. At reserve the Kings bring in Jacob Clouting and unattached Luke Barnes.

Kinsley Returns
 To Lead Fen Tigers Play Off Charge

With Danny Ayres out for some considerable time following his broken tibia in the opening heat of yesterdays meeting the Mildenhall Fen Tigers proudly sponsored by Manchetts Rescue and Recovery have moved quickly to draft in a replacement for their captain and talisman.

Returning to the Fen Tigers fold, subject to BSPA approval, is 2018 star ‘Flyin’ Ryan Kinsley. Kinsley was a somewhat surprise signing at the start of the 2018 season but soon endeared himself to the Mildenhall faithful with his stylish all action style and trademark outside passes. Adding over three points to his starting average Kinsley was deservedly rewarded with a starting place in the Championship with Scunthorpe this season. Hopes though of a return to the Fen Tigers was scuppered by the reduced 36 points team building average for the 2019 season, but the sad events of Sunday have opened the door for a late season return.
