Matt Noble (Plymouth CX) took the South West title by just two points after doing just enough on the final day.

The season had to be cut short which meant that the title would be decided today with Matt Noble having a slight advantage going into the race.

Despite finishing down in fifth, Noble accumulated enough points to take the title with Hurlock second and James Bovey of MDCC in third overall.

Matt Zietz (Pearson Cycles) and Dexter Hurlock (Certini) went head-to-head in a great final race of the South Western League in Plymouth on Sunday.

The season had to be cut short which meant that the title would be decided today with Matt Noble having a slight advantage going into the race.

But it came down to Hurlock and Zietz as the two battled through together on a boggy track with many sections that were unrideable, forcing contestants to get off and run.

But eventually, Zietz managed to open up a gap and left Hurlock behind to take the win.

Tim Carpenter of EliteVelo took the veteran title, James Davey of Mid Devon CC the junior honour and the Women’s champion was Fiona Verney of Exeter Wheelers. The under 14 champion was Harry Birchall (MDCC) and the under 12 winner was Max Hinds (unattached).

MDCC’s Freddy Birchall was overall champion in the under 10 category and in the under 8s it was teammate Solomon Drury.
