Kesgrave took the overall Lloyds Bank Cycle Speedway British Club Championship title, scoring wins in the under-12, under-16 and junior categories.

Birmingham won the open title, while Sheffield were crowned the winners in the women’s races.

The open match saw Birmingham and Kesgrave neck-in-neck throughout the day, coming into the final heat with Birmingham on 47 points and Kesgrave on 46 points. Paul Heard (Birmingham) was off from gate one, while Kesgrave’s Parr was on grid three, with Heard taking the win, before Kesgrave fought back for another win to make it a run off. Heard has a raft of titles and knows how to win the big matches, showing his experience to fire out from the gate, taking the first bend in front. Parr crashed going into the third bend on the first lap and was unable to come back, leaving Heard to take the win and overall title for Birmingham.

Ipswich's Matt Hill took third in the same race which put them equal to Kesgrave’s score of 47 points and a run off for second place. Hill slipped on his pedals going into the first bend and that was enough for Kesgrave’s Noah Woodhouse to take advantage and take a fine second place to Birmingham and wrap up another successful weekend racing.

Sheffield took the women’s win, scoring 36 points, with their team of Lizzie Rigley, Laura Watson and Lacey Ackroyd dominating for much of the racing. Kesgrave were nipping at the heels throughout the racing, with Ella Case, Lilly Parr and Amber Lee Gant battling for the top spot, but had to be content with second on 35 points. Poole’s Maddie Saunders, Lexi Curtis and Natalie Goulden finished third on 28 points.
