The latest round of the Brooks Cycles Track League at Newcastle-under-Lyme was contested after a forecast of rain never materialised and the 50 riders were attended were rewarded with a full programme of racing.
The sprint races saw Barney Swinnerton of Science in Sport top score with eight points in winning the team sprint, 200m time trial and the sprint final. These points also saw him re-take the overall lead in the sprinters league table.
The A class endurance saw Robert Lambton (Brooks Cycles) increase his overall lead as he scored seven and a half points in winning the opening eight lap scratch and the course de primes race. Alex Simmons (Lyme RC) also showed well in winning the 10 mile scratch and a second place in the eight lap scratch.
The B league saw the best turnout of the groups with Jack Fearon (Weaver Valley CC) taking full advantage of the top six riders in the league being absent as he scored eight points in winning the eight lap and 10 mile scratch events.
The youth races saw Joel Partington continue to dominate the league as he won all four races and in doing so took his points total for the year to over the 100 mark.
We are now in to the holiday season however there was a healthy turnout of 21 riders with two new riders making this the most successful season so far in the history of this competition at Newcastle. The top point's scorers in each league were as follows:
Group 1 Bradley Hill Lyme RC 6 points
Group 2 Sam Hall 9 points
Group 3 Finlay Edwards, Sebastian Booth and Ellie Bloomer 9 points
