In terms of publicity for the event has no-one thought about putting this on the Bears Forum? The main Bears website is so far out of date and out of touch that few fans refer to it for information so for some it may be the only place they'll see that this event is on.

 

It would make a good thread I reckon.

Should be a great day of racing, looking forward to it. And sure the lads appreciate the extra track time too.

Heat 15

Stead, J Thompson, McKenna, Flint (FX) 2-3-1-0=7-18-13-10

 

A tough match in group one with the home team getting no luck at all, with 4 falls while in good point’s positions plus a thrown chain for Kev Whelan it really wasn’t there day. Linlithgow dominated the group, the highlight been when Wilson touched the tapes in heat 5 and went from 15, before lap 1 was over he was in the lead. Castleford plugged away with a great team performance, no wins but more importantly no lasts meaning they made the final. Berwick could count themselves very unlucky with Leon Flint leading the last race which would have seen them through, he hit hole going into turn three ending with a nasty fall.

Northside Stars - Glyn Picken 4, James Hitchen 3, Luke Ruddick 1, Kyle Bickley 0

Newcastle Gems – Matt Williamson 6, William O’Keefe 5, Archie Freeman 4, Josh Embleton 2

Barrow Bombers – Rob Shuttleworth 3, Harry McGurk 3, Lloyd Ditchburn 3, Kyle Deans 1

 

Heat 2

Williamson, Fenwick, Shuttleworth (F), Ruddick 2-0-3-0=2-0-3-0

Heat 4

Freeman, Wright, McGurk (F), Bickley (EF) 2-0-3-0=4-0-6-0

Heat 16

McGurk, O’Keefe, Winthrop, Bickley (EF) 1-0-2-3=11-8-17-10

 

This was a much tighter group, with Newcastle running away with it, it looked like a straight fight between Workington and Northside for the final spot, however with 3 heats left Barrow pulled themselves together and missed qualification by 1 point, early falls from Shuttleworth and McGurk costing them. Northside were also unlucky with mechanical gremlins hitting both Ruddick and Bickley. So the Meteors scrapped through to the final

Workington – Ryan MacDonald 6, Tommy Fenwick 5, Lewis Winthrop 5, Jack Wright 1

Newcastle – Matt Williamson 5, William O’Keefe 3, Josh Embleton 1, Archie Freeman 1

Castleford – Kieran Douglas 5, Krys Bialecki 3, Kevin Keay 3, Luke McKenna 1

 

Heat 17

Williamson, Fenwick, Bialecki, MacPhail 0-2-3-1=0-2-3-1

Heat 18

Stead, Douglas, Freeman, Wright 3-0-1-2=3-2-4-3

Heat 19

MacDonald, Keay, Embleton, Wilson (Puncture) 0-3-1-2=3-5-5-5

Heat 20

Winthrop, Halder, O’Keefe, McKenna 2-3-1-0=5-8-6-5

Heat 24

Douglas, O’Keefe, Wright, Halder (EF) 0-1-2-3=9-17-10-12

 

In the eventful final it was Workington that took the title in style by the end, after only scraping through the group stage the team clicked, the highlight been MacDonald being the first man to beat the very fast Williamson in heat 21, but it was a full team effort and a well-deserved victory. Castleford continued their strong team work to come in second with Newcastle third. Linlithgow can feel a bit hard done by with 2 EF’s when in good positions.

It will be Craig Branneys Meteors to be the first team engraved on this particular bit of silverware though

Final

Flint, K Douglas, D Thompson, Hitchen, Bickley (EF) (5 Man Final)

 

The final round of the championship had to be cut short due to a lengthy delay in the senior championship so each rider only got 2 qualifying rides rather than their programmed 3, with Dan Thompson and James Hitchen tied on 5 a piece it was decided a 5 man final was the fairest way to go.

Leon Flint led from start to finish for his 2nd round win of the season which secured him 2nd in the overall championship, series winner Bickley was in second on the second lap when his bike packed up leaving series bronze medallist Kieran Douglas to take silver on the day. The 3 of them have been dominant all season and deserve a lot of credit.
