A great day of racing in the 1st Final Round of the British Youth & Junior League was had by all Team Green, as they made the journey to the Hessle Raceway, Hull. The weather was its usual mix of baking sun to sideways rain, but this didn't put any of the youngsters off. In the u8s event, Max Quarmby showed excellent form and chased all day. Max's hard work is paying off, in his 1st National round he battled to 3rd in the C Final. John White, a young but seasoned rider in this class, showed how his hard work at training is paying off by racing unbeaten all day, including winning the A Final. John now leads the Under 8s in the country, a more nervous and proud mum there was not present at Hessle. In the u10s match, Joe Quarmby competed in his first National and took a well earned 1st place in the C final, after battling hard in the dry conditions. Ben Dickinson rode one of his best set of races, but just couldn't get any luck, twice having unfortunate tangles whilst pushing hard for the win. Ben finished third in the B Final but his riding had deserved much more. The u12s took the track as the weather took on a biblical theme, only missing Noah and his Ark to complete the picture. Max Evans and Matt Snell both made the best of tricky draws to secure places in the B Final, only one point off reaching the A Final. The Team Green pair ran away with the B Final, taking 1st and 2nd spots home. The u14s riders were next and Ciaran Collins showed his much improving speed in this competitive class. With his usual mix of tumbles and incidents, Ciaran was eventually 3rd in the B Final. Last up for A&T was Reece Pollitt who scored an excellent 14 points in the heat races of the u16s category. Going into the A Final he drew grid 3 out of 4 and brought this position home. Like Ben, his pace deserved more but sometimes its the luck of the draw. Collectively, the eight riders came third in the team standings, which is a massive achievement, making an impression in every age category. British Youth & Junior League Final Round 1 result 1. Kesgrave 188 2. Sheffield 129 3. Astley & Tyldesley 95 4=. Leicester 77 4=. Poole 77 6. Ipswich 73 7. Wednesfield 71 8.
