The team entered the Premier League (second division) in 1997. During the 1997 Premier League speedway season the team withdrew and had their results expunged.[2] Their final home fixture was on the 7 July.[3] The following season they failed to complete the league campaign again and withdrew after four matches in the 1998 Speedway Conference League. This time however their fixtures were completed by the Norfolk Braves.[4]
