Ken is on target and fires his way to '˜champs' title

For the first time the traditional card targets were replaced with electronic boxes which detect the exact position of each shot.

Previously a bull scored 10 points, but with the greater accuracy of these boxes it is now scored on a scale of 10.0 to 10.9 points, with the result shown on a computer screen.

This season’s Champ of Champs was Ken Greenaway of St Andrews.

His scores, for three 10-shot cards were 105.2, 104.7 and 105.5, giving a total of 315.4. Ken was also successful in the Scottish Association’s Speedway competition with a final score of 993 out of 1000.

In the Lothian Association’s World Cup, Ken was just beaten into second place by R Simpson of Greenock.

Laurence Cooper of St Andrews also had success, winning his class in the Speedway and also his division in the Portsdale and West Hove winter league.
