Conference League Knockout Cup
The 1998 Conference league Knockout Cup was the first edition of the Knockout Cup for tier three teams.[3]
In 1995 there had been an Academy League Knockout Cup and in 1996 a Conference League Knockout Cup but due to a merger of the British Leagues, both the 1995 and 1996 editions acted as the second tier of British speedway at the time.

gollark: <@297722510064091140> People can run `rom/programs/ls` and `rom/programs/edit` to see the real filesystem quite easily.

gollark: What benefits would flash drives/CDs actually *have* over floppy disks?
gollark: Because CC is very retro.
gollark: You could just have it log the turtle commands it executes in some form, and maybe do a little more like track position and rotation.
