Weymouth Doonan Wildcats welcome the nomadic Wimbledon Dons to the Wessex Stadium this Saturday 17th May, in what promises to be a tough test for the home side. Once a dominant force in the Conference League, the club formally based at Plough Lane has been homeless since 2005 when contract negotiations between the Wimbledon Speedway Plc promotion and the stadium owners GRA failed to reach a satisfactory conclusion. Since then, while the Plc fruitlessly searches for an alternative venue, Nick Taylor who runs the Wimbledon Supporters club has worked tirelessly to keep the Dons name alive by arranging challenge matches with current clubs using former members of the Dons teams.

Weymouth speedway have taken the decision to honour all Newport speedway season ticket holders entry to the Wildcats meetings at the Wessex Stadium. Along with season ticket holders, re-admission tickets from the rain-off meeting with Birmingham will also be honoured, but the club ask supporters wishing to use the re-admission tickets to contact the club prior to attending by either email at philbartlett@btconnect.com or by phone on 07841 042475.

Weymouth Doonan Wildcats made a huge statement on Saturday night by hammering the Sittingbourne Crusaders at the Wessex Stadium. After last Monday's frustrating 48-45 defeat at Scunthorpe, when mechanical gremlins and refereeing decisions failed to go their way, the pressure was on the hosts to give their campaign a much needed kick-start and they did not disappoint in front of a jubilant home crowd. Dicken's side have been lauded as potential title challengers and on this showing it was clear to see why as a fairly strong Sittingbourne line up were simply brushed aside.
