One of the best meetings of the year – a fine warm evening, a record number of 47 youth riders plus good fast racing in all the various categories – youth and senior.

The opening 10 lap scratch for Senior A riders was won by Kristian Woolf by inches – the riders left a gap on the inside as they approached the line which he dived through to score his first win of the meeting from series leader John McClelland. Theo Doncaster attacked in the first laps of the Points race notching up 12 points and hung on to his lead to take the event by two points. The scratch group in the 10 lap handicap reeled in the field with 2 laps remaining and took the top three places led in by Woolf, McClelland and Hastings.
The 10 mile field was down to 6 riders with 6 laps left and the top three riders crossed the line just inches apart to conclude a fast run 10 mile.
The CC Ashwell riders dominated the Senior B events with some positive riding. In the 10 lap Hare and Hounds the four Hares worked well together and were never reeled in by the chasers – Jon Chapman won from Caroline Harding and Sophie Lankford with all four riders picking up useful League points
The increasing numbers in the youth categories week on week is a great bonus for the future of the Track League and the hard work put in by the wide variety of clubs and coaches. Frank Longstaff and Dan Maynard took the honours in the opening 8 lap Youth A race and the 8 lap handicap. Also in contention were Jordan Mooney, Cark Jolly and Mitch Powell and this group cleaned up the League points and positions.
The 19 strong Youth BC section saw Will Raymond increase his overall series lead. Prize of the evening went to Harriett Mellor in winning the 6 lap handicap from Sophie Holmes and Tom Durkin in a 8 up dash for the line. Christian Manzi was on good form in the CDE category winning the 3 lap scratch and the closing 4 lap handicap. He has narrowed the gap to series leader Lauren Higham with two meetings left. The two 3 lap handicaps were really competitive with the limit riders setting off at high speed – the scratch group worked hard but failed to make contact.
