PETERBOROUGH star Kenneth Bjerre is looking to crown an impressive season by being crowned Elite Open Riders' Champion.Bjerre will be start as one of the favoruites to lift the title at his home Showground circuit on Saturday evening.And if he finishes top he will be only the third Panthers rider ever to win the presitgious title, following in the footsteps of Jason Crump and Ryan Sullivan.Bjerre's Peterborough team-mate Niels-Kristian Iversen is also included in the line-up as well as the Elite League's highest-averaged rider Fredrik Lindgren, and Ipswich star Scott Nicholls.And Coventry skipper Chris Harris goes for a unique treble of major event victories this season, having already won the British Championship and the Elite League Pairs. NEWCASTLE star Mark Lemon could be ruled out of Newcastle's late-season push for further honours after a crash at Sheffield on Thursday.The Diamonds are into the Knockout Cup Final where they will face Edinburgh, and they will need to pull back a ten-point deficit against Sheffield in the second leg of their play-off Final at Brough Park on Sunday.Lemon crashed out of the first leg in Heat 13, suffering a dislocated shoulder, and although he managed to put it back in place he is now a major doubt for the remaining fixtures.Sheffield No.1 Ricky Ashworth was in blistering form as the Tigers won 53-43, dropping just one point from five rides and breaking the Owlerton track record in Heat 1.Newcastle boss George English said: "After being twelve points down after Heat 3, to be only ten behind after Heat 15 is phenomenal racing from our lads who have set up a fine second leg on Sunday."The big worry is Lemo and that he may be done for the season as it is certainly looking that way, which is such a huge pity for him after a superb year’s action.”FIXTURESFRIDAY OCTOBER 15:YOUNG SHIELD S/F 1st leg: Newport v Rye House 7.30 KINGS OF THE MIDLANDS: Coventry v Wolverhampton 7.30CHALLENGE: Young Lions v USA Touring Team (at Lakeside) 6.30 LONDON RIDERS CHAMPIONSHIP: Lakeside 8pm KENNY SMITH MEMORIAL TROPHY: Scunthorpe 7.30WESTERNAPOLIS: Plymouth 7.30SATURDAY OCTOBER 16:ELITE OPEN RIDERS CHAMPIONSHIP: Peterborough 7.30 YOUNG SHIELD S/F 1st leg: Workington v Scunthorpe 7pm NATIONAL LEAGUE FOURS & NLRC, Rye House - OFF SUNDAY OCTOBER 17:PREMIER LEAGUE PLAY-OFF FINAL 2nd leg: Newcastle v Sheffield 6.30 YOUNG SHIELD S/F 2nd leg: Rye House v Newport 1pm NATIONAL LEAGUE PLAY-OFF S/F 2nd leg: Buxton v Dudley 3pm, Newport v Bournemouth 1pm LEIGH ADAMS FAREWELL: Swindon 5.30 PRIDE OF THE POTTERIES: Stoke 5.30 ASHFIELD CLASSIC: Glasgow 4pmMONDAY OCTOBER 18:YOUNG SHIELD S/F 2nd leg: Scunthorpe v Workington 7.30 BANKS’S OLYMPIQUE: Wolverhampton 7.30TUESDAY OCTOBER 19:STAFFS CUP 1st leg: Dudley v Stoke (at Wolverhampton) 7.30
