In the A Class events league leader Declan Byrne extended his lead in the overall league table as he scored 9 points. He scored points in four of the five events with his best performance coming in the Keiren Fianl where he held off former multi National Tandem Sprint Champion Peter Boyd by half a wheel in a tight and exciting finish. Declan’s teammate Robert Lambton also showed good form with two great wins in the opening 10 lap scratch event and the final 10 mile scratch event. Both riders are clearly on form for this weekends round of the National Omnium event at Halesowen. The B Class events saw a tie for the top point’s scorer with 8 between Martin Shaw and Joe Turner. Martin, a former B League winner, was back showing the form of last year as he won the 8 lap Scratch and the Devil. Joe also won two events in the Point’s race and the final 10 mile Scratch.The C Class and Ladies Scratch event saw a keenly contested race with track regular and official Mick Stubbs taking the dash for the line from Sarah Byrne and Megan Boyd.
