Four-Team Championship in 1995

The SGB Championship Fours formerly the Premier League Four-Team Championship is a contest between teams competing in the second tier of speedway in the United Kingdom. Teams are grouped into fours, with one rider from each team in each race. The winners and second place of each group competed for the Championship in the final.[1][2]

History

[edit | edit source]

The competition replaced the National League Four-Team Championship (held from 1976 until 1994).[3] It was first staged in 1995 when the Premier League was the highest tier of British speedway because the top two divisions had merged. However, in 1996, it reverted back to a competition for second tier teams in the British Speedway system.[4] From 1997 until 2016 it was known as the Premier League Four-Team Championship.

In 2017, the competition changed its name to the SGB Championship Fours.[5]
