First Welwyn track league meeting of the 2015 season dominated by Felix English
WELWYN TRACK LEAGUE – 24th April 2015
First track league meeting of the season dominated by Felix English
The 2015 track league season got underway on a rather chilly Friday night at Gosling Sports Park, but this did not hamper the quality of the riding on show. There were good numbers for the first meeting of the season with 45 senior riders and 30 youth riders.
The senior A racing was dominated by Felix English riding for JLT Condon. He claimed a clean sweep winning all the senior A races including the closing 10 miler with a strong ride – riding off the front with a lap to go, holding off a very fast closing George Olive (Finchley RT) who claimed second.
Defending champion John McClelland (Bush Healthcare) had a mixed evening, with his best result taking third in the point’s race.
In the senior B racing Ethan Vernon riding for Corley RT had a good evening picking up two wins from three and riding very strongly in the 10 lap scratch where he came second to Charles Page (Edgeware) after both pulled away from the main field with two laps to go.
In the youth racing it was a good night for the Welwyn Wheelers and Lee Valley riders. In the youth A racing Ryan Green (Lee Valley) rode very strongly with his best ride in the scratch race where he attacked with 3 laps to go and held off the chasing pack to claim victory.
The youth B racing was controlled by Welwyn Wheeler Ollie Stockwell, who rode well to take the spoils in all but the point’s race which was claimed by his team mate Sam Asker.
Welwyn Wheelers Tom Sharples rode well in the Youth CDE racing to finish the night on top of his age group.
Racing will commence again this coming Friday (weather permitting) and if the quality of racing is as good as it was this week it looks to be a competitive season ahead.
