SHROPSHIRE youngster Jack Hargreaves is facing up to his last chance to win the British Under-18 Championship at Wolverhampton on Monday (7.30pm).

Hargreaves, born in Shrewsbury, is now a Premier League regular with Redcar and is making steady progress up the speedway ladder.

But the favourite for the title must be Eastbourne talent Lewis Bridger who finished on the rostrum last season in a meeting won by William Lawson, who has now become a regular in Wolverhampton''s Elite League squad.

Bridge beat 1996 world champion Billy Hamill in a league meeting at Monmore Green earlier this season.

Monmore promoter Chris Van Straaten said: ''I wanted to stage this all along and I''d have done all I could to include it even if we were in the play-offs,'' said Van Straaten.

''I enjoy these meetings, the young lads come along and see it''s a big stage to perform on and they always put on a great show. Next Monday should be no different.''

In a meeting supported by Kit Co, this is the line-up: Daniel Betson (Rye House), Richie Dennis (Scunthorpe), Shane Waldron (Plymouth), Robert Mear (Rye House), Harland Cook (Rye House), Ben Barker (Somerset), Lee Smart (Plymouth), Sam Martin (Boston), Tai Woffinden (Scunthorpe), Ben Taylor (Buxton), Ben Hopwood (Mildenhall), Joe Haines (Cleveland), Billy Legg (Newport), Lewis Bridger (Eastbourne), Jamie Westacott (Plymouth), Jack Hargreaves (Redcar).

*FIRST details of the Banks''s Olympique line-up will appear in Monday''s official programme, priced £2.
