What is Coventry Cycle Speedway?

We are a sports club based in Coventry, West Midlands. We race single speed bikes, with no brakes for four laps around an oval dirt track.

The sport of Cycle Speedway grew out of the bomb sites post second world war. The modern day version of the sport requires athleticism, bravery and skill, as four riders take to the track for each race, all trying to come out on top.

It is very much a short dirt track version of velodrome racing, except contact is allowed when passing.

Fancy a go?

Pop along to one of our coaching or race nights! See our full schedule on our coaching page.

BAD START RUINS SABRES HOPES IN GOLD CUP

Coventry XL Motors Sabres conceded two early 7-3s against Birmingham at East Park this afternoon, giving Lee Marsh’s team too much to do in an otherwise close match; losing out 104-96 in the Midland League Gold Cup.

The Sabres steadied the ship after the shaky start and consequently Birmingham were unable to significantly extended their lead without Cov pegging them back; but likewise the Sabres couldn’t inflict enough damage to truly worry their opponents.

Juniors Tom Savage and Josh Walters saw their efforts in training pay off, looking quick throughout. Kyle Barlow continued his good form from the previous weekend for the seniors; meanwhile the spectators enjoyed another intense Grimes/Timms battle in the final heat.

In the end the Sabres came up short against a well organised Birmingham team, but can try again in two weeks time when they travel to Perry Hall Park for the Midland League fixture.

It’s not all over for Cov’s Gold Cup challenge though, if they can overcome Wednesfield at Leicester in their final match and other results go their way, they’re still in with a shout of the trophy.

XL MOTORS SABRES WINNING STREAK CONTINUES

Coventry XL Motors Accident Repair, MOT & Service Centre Sabres won a hard fought encounter against Poole Comets this afternoon by 91-87. This means Lee Marsh’s team haven’t been beaten around Hearsall Common since July.

As expected, the match was excellent for the spectator with no end of excitement and action, as the away side delivered a typically committed performance.

The Sabres countered with some smart racing, crucial passes and were able to fend off a Comets comeback late-on.

Myke Grimes topped the scoresheet for Coventry, losing out only to Ben Mould who raced to a 20 point maximum for the Comets. Kyle Barlow and Mike Baldock delivered their best performances to date.

Overall though, a solid team performance for the Sabres sees their unbeaten run at home continue into April.
