The
Dons were without Bert Harkins still not recovered from injury, and were awaiting
Graeme Stapleton's return from New Zealand which had been delayed as his business
partner Ronnie Moore had been badly injured. The SCB had granted them rider
replacement facility but Cyril Maidment was adamant that they would use their
own assets rather than relying on guest riders. For this Easter Monday meeting
against the Tigers (not usually a threat at Plough Lane) they were further weakened
by injuries to both Reg Luckhurst and new signing Barry Crowson sustained in
the heavy away defeat against Newport at Somerton Park the previous Friday.
Briggo rode unbeaten and Tommy Jansson dropped only 2 points in 6 rides,
beaten only by Arnie Haley. For the Tigers Doug Wyer and Reg Wilson claimed
one heat win apiece but the difference between the sides lay at reserve with
the Tigers running up 16 (paid 21) against the Dons 2.
