HORSPATH Hammers will pay tribute to former rider and iconic Oxfordshire cycle speedway rider Peter "Chalky" White before their Elite League match against Poole Comets at The Village tomorrow (2pm) .

White, who died last week after a short illness, started at the old Littlemore Falcons in the 1960's before joining Hammers for the first of two long spells – a short stay at Uxbridge in between – before ending his racing days in the 90's at the now defunct Headley Hawks.

He was still a frequent visitor at Horspath, having his last few laps last October.

Hammers, who after a bad start now top the Elite League table, are without Lukasz Nowacki for this match, with world champion Bartek Grabowski deputising.

Horspath squad: Osborne (capt), Boaler, Carmichael, Grabowski, Johnson, Kowalczyk, Neighbour, Payne, Jeffrey.
