The main league saw the most competitive races in the Sprinters League with the Keiren Final being particularly exciting as the 6 finalist battled for the win. Sean Mayer ( Swinnerton Cycles) took a fine win from Joel Partington ( Sportcity Velo) and Steve Cronshaw ( Brooks Cycles). The other sprints events were the 2 up time trial won by Phil Houlton and Steve Cronshaw ( Brooks Cycles and the team sprint where the team of James Roberts ( North Cheshire Clarion) Steve Cronshaw and Sean Mayer took the win.
The A class endurance riders had a good mix of events with Will Thomas( Velocity RT) winning the 10 laps scratch and the 12 lap motor paced race and Andy Leigh ( Velocity RT) taking the 2000m individual pursuit. Joel Partington rode a great race to win the 10 mile scratch as he used his strong sprint finish to take the win.
In the B Class events Andrew Scott ( Lyme RC) won all four events as he showed his form is good on his comeback trial after a number of years away from racing. He won the 10 laps scratch, devil, course de primes and 10 mile.
The youth races saw a smaller field than usual , no doubt down to the school holidays however this did not stop some fine racing with Liam Zwestchnikow ( Lyme RC) winning the devil and scratch and James Baryford ( Lyme RC) winning the 200m TT. Aleshia Mellor ( Newcastle RC 2001), James Brayford and Bradley Hill ( Lyme RC) won the team sprint.
