This afternoon I went to see Hethersett Hawks Cycle Speedway take on Ipswich in the league. Basically the winner of this match would be league champions and Ipswich proved far too strong even taking into account the fact that Hethersett started with a 12 point advantage due to Ipswich using too many over qualified riders.
The thing that impressed me most was the good sportsmanship between the two sides. Cycle speedway is a physical sport with lots of spills, but at the end the riders shared a handshake and there were no recriminations or nastiness - that's how sport should be played.
