Sussex Track League 8 June 2011

-

Sunny but cold conditions were the order of the day for the 9th Sussex Track League meeting at Preston Park on Wednesday 8th June. 73 riders signed on with 26 for the senior races and 47 for the youth events.

Full results

It was looking close in the B league, in week 8 Steve Kane achieved his 4th win of the season and was looking for his 5th to clinch the B league title and move up to the A league. Mark Grigg had secured his 3rd win in week 8 to keep the pressure on Steve.
The opening senior race saw Ashley Dennis come home in front of Brock Duncumb-Rogers and Jack Hoyle. The Under 16/Under 14 opener saw Connor Murphy win and close the gap to Jake Deakin at the top of the Under 16’s while first Under 14 home Spencer Thomas continued to add to his lead at the top of the Under 14’s.

In the Under 8’s 1 lap scratch Samuel Jacques continued his winning run but Archie Sloan managed to get the better of Rory Burke for second place. For the Under 10’s scratch Bradley Burke came home first from George Sloan in second place and Christian Bright third and in the Under 12 scratch Noah Ridgway-Brown chalked up another victory coming home in front of Isaac Wright and Ben Tucker.

The three senior handicap heats saw Lee Povey, Brock Duncumb-Rogers and Sara Gent qualify in the first heat, Jack Hoyle, Richard Bailey and Matthew Wise qualify in the second heat, Mark Emsley, Ashley Dennis and Alan Cooper qualify in the third heat.
In the Under 16/Under 14 handicap, Spencer Thomas scored an impressive win with Mark Jacobs second and Connor Murphy third. Archie Sloan took the Under 8 handicap from George Abbott-Stacey in second and Samuel Jacques third. The Under 10 handicap saw a win for Christian Bright with first time rider Harry Makepeace in second and Lloyd Costello third.

In the senior handicap final the early leader was Matthew Wise but a storming ride from scratchman Lee Povey saw him take first place from Ashley Dennis and Brock Duncumb-Rogers. With the large number of Under 12 riders it was decided to run two handicaps which saw Ben Tucker win the first and Noah Ridgway-Brown take the second.

A lively Under 16/Under 14 points race saw 7 different riders scoring points and it was Connor Murphy on 13 points who took the victory from Olly Priddle on 12 points and Megan Lewis on 10 points.

The senior B devil saw Mark Grigg take his fourth victory and draw level on wins with Steve Kane who could only manage third place behind Paul Flynn. The senior A devil saw Brock Duncumb-Rogers lead home Ashley Dennis and Paul Barnard.

Samuel Jacques took his second victory of the evening in the Under 8 200 metre sprint with Rory Burke second and Archie Sloan third. The Under 10 field was split for two 300 metre sprints with Bradley Burke taking the first and Rahul Fortescue-Talwar taking the second.

A 3 lap scratch for the Under 12’s saw the victory go to Noah Ridgway-Brown with Isaac Wright second and Joe Hill third. Connor Murphy took the Under 16 dash while first Under 14 was Spencer Thomas.

So next up the senior B dash and would there be an overall winner with both Steve Kane and Mark Grigg on 4 victories each. The race was all together for the first lap and then Steve Kane made a bold bid with just over a lap to go. Coming into the last 200 metres and Steve still had a gap which he managed to hold until the finish and so win the B league and gain promotion to the A league. Coming home in second place was a disappointed Mark Grigg and in third place Jack Priddle. Steve becomes the fastest winner of the B league since the change of format. The senior A dash saw Lee Povey take his second victory of the evening with Brock Duncumb-Rogers second and Ashley Dennis third.

The Under 16/Under 14 Hare and Hounds saw the hares manage to hold off the hounds who never looked as though they would get on terms. Megan Lewis took the victory from Amy Smith and Mark Jacobs.

The final event of the evening was an 18 lap scratch race for the seniors and after a fairly steady start a break of three managed to establish a good lead. The three riders were Ashley Dennis, Brock Duncumb-Rogers and Paul Barnard and they steadily increased the lead working well together. Two primes were both taken by Brock and with the gap increasing the offer of £20 to the break to lap the field saw the pace of both the break and the bunch go up. Paul was dropped from the break as Ashley and Brock gradually overhauled the bunch and took the lap. At the finish it was Brock leading Ashley over the line while Paul held on to finish third.
