NEW signing Matthew Wright believes the Weymouth Doonan Wildcats have "one of the strongest, if not the strongest" squad in the Conference League. The 22-year-old is set to make his delayed debut tonight at the Wessex Stadium against the Redcar Cubs (7.15pm), taking the place of the injured Tim Webster. And Wright, whose bow for the Wildcats was put on hold following last weekend's postponement due to heavy rain, is keeping his fingers crossed for better weather.

Weymouth Wildcats have got the green light for practice speedway sessions during the winter. But the consent for one Saturday afternoon session a month during the closed season left Wildcats bosses only half happy - they had asked West Dorset District Council planners for double that.

After last weeks washout, the Weymouth Doonan Wildcats will be hoping the abysmal British weather makes a turn for the better this Saturday, when the Redcar Cubs travel back down to the Wessex Stadium for the crucial Conference League clash.
