Matt Gibson (Warrington RC) added another 50 points to his league tally with another win in Blackpool this week.

The Lymm rider picked up two wins in the opening event in Southport last week and he won the first of two Youth A races on Saturday.

In the second race, Beacon Wheelers’ Sam Ross was home first - a good result which built on the seventh place he secured in the first race.

In the youth B races, Tomos Owens of Brooks Cycles dominated winning both races to follow up the two second place finishes from Southport.

Ellie Dickinson (Beacon Wheelers) rode to victory in both of the under 14 girls races with team mate Henrietta Colborne finishing runner up twice.

Alistair Leivers of BYCA led the same one, two, three in both of the races in the Youth C category with Nathan Hawthorn (Cycle Sport Pendle) and Luke Cheetham (Eastlands Velo) completing the podium.

In the Youth D, it was Matthew Egglestone of Beacon Wheelers winning both races. Nathan Fortune of Kirklees Cycling Academy achieved the same feat in Youth E.
