East Anglia 2010
Regional Round 9
The ninth and final round of the East Anglia BMX 2010
Summer Series moved to Milton Keynes BMX Club last Sunday to be run
on a track that only 7 days before had been under 2-3ft of flood
water but a week of hard work by the club members and the local
Parks Trust got the track into good condition for the 125
competitors for a competitive days racing and although threatening
clouds were around all day, light rain only came for one short
period which did not upset the action.
Royston Rockets had seventeen riders across all age
classes trying to grab the final few points to improve their
regional ranking before going to the British Championships in a few
weeks time. Royston’s action started with the 7 and Under novices
where Royston’s Callum Barrow took the first place with Brendan
Salmon finishing in 3rd and both will be moving into the
expert classes for the 2011 season, whilst in the 8yr Expert
category Alfie Salmon finish in 6th and in the 9 year
class, Royston’s trio of riders filled the main final with James
King taking second ahead of Ted Dalleywater in 4th and
Marmaduke Birt in 5th. The 10 year class saw the Rockets’
Miles Fisher taking another win and in the 11 year class Aaron
Dalleywater came home in second. The 12 year category saw Matthew
Harris claim 6th overall and another podium position came
Royston’s way in the 14 year class where James Handleigh battled for
lead all day but had to be happy with 2nd overall. In the
15’s the 4th place went to Jordan Godfrey whilst a 2nd
place position went to Andrew Brooker in the 16’s. In the girls
classes Royston’s Faye Godfrey took 3rd in the 11-12 year
group and Helen Nicholl going one better with a 2nd in
the 25+ Ladies cruiser class. In the Masters (30+) class Adam
Richards took another 2nd place and in the cruiser
classes, Matt Salmon, took 8th in the 35-39 class and
Carl Birt wound up the days results with a win in the 45+ category.
