Jarvis: World Cup fantastic for British Speedway.

Panthers co-promoter Ian Jarvis has given last week's Speedway World Cup a massive thumbs-up. The East of England Showground hosted both the race-off and the final with plenty of superb action for the fans.

"I thought the whole tournament was a fantastic advert for British Speedway," enthused Jarvis. "Nobody has any idea about the amount of work which went into it apart from those directly involved.

"And I don't just mean here at Peterborough - the staff at Sheffield, Poole and Eastbourne also did a wonderful job because all around the country throughout the week there was the threat of rain," he explained.

"It was such a shame about the weather, but there is nothing we can do about that. I would like to congratulate all the staff at Peterborough, too many to mention, for all the superb work put in to get the event on."

The Speedway World Cup was won by defending champions Australia.
