Does anyone remember the sport of cycle speedway in the St Albans area? In the early 1950's there were at least four local teams in the Hertfordshire league

In 1951, E.A.C. Hawks from St Albans came first and Harpenden Aces came last. The others were St Albans Cobras, who had a track in Cell Barnes Lane, and Hill Top Vampires from Redbourn. Neither the Hawks nor the Aces took part in 1952 had they packed up?

Please contact Alex Lewis, e-mail alewis@london.newsquest.co.uk, if you know anything about these teams or the history of the sport.
