Round 9 of the Raymond Brown Track League (Bournemouth) produced some keen racing in a programme dominated by distance events.

A series of scratch & points races for both the A& B groups tested fitness and track craft. Two invitation Olympic sprint races offered something for the faster chess players! In the B group, James Brightwell (Bournemouth Arrow) continues to improve winning the opening 8-lap scratch race, then taking the first sprint match, getting the better of John Friend (Off Camber).
Daryl Price (Poole Wheelers) won the second sprint race, easily seeing off Dave Gilham (Bournemouth Arrow). Chris Braiden (Port Talbot Wheelers) took the 20 lap points race before Les Pick (Poole Wheelers) won a 16 lap scratch. It was Picks first win “since the nineties†and there was vocal celebration as he crossed the line.
In the A group the all-conquering Harrison Fielding continues to steam roller the field. Fielding won every event including the final 80 lap scratch race. Adam D’Arcy-Wykes (VC ST Raphael/Waites Contracts) has raised his game and is starting to stretch Fielding.
Wykes took two laps in the 20km event but found himself in a Poole Wheelers sandwich with Fielding & Andy Buddle. There was certainly some edge in the final few laps as Wykes tried to find a way to win. Fielding’s turn of speed usually proves decisive but perhaps his victory salute was too much too soon as Wykes never gave up, nearly “nicking†it on the line.
