[Cubsforever 16]

Northern Junior League 4T.T. Qualifying Group Two Report.

 

Group Two consisted of Workington Meteors, Berwick ' Ferrow Decorators & A1 Cabs' Border Raiders, Newcastle Gems and a cosmopolitan side, the Cleveland ' Pioneer M/ Cycles' Bays made up of riders who couldn't be fitted into their own sides.

A betting man would have had 20p on the Meteors and the Raiders going through but the Meteors had Kai Symonds-Walton in for the unavailable Kieran McCoy and the Raiders lost Ryan Morris at midnight and were unable to replace him.

After 7 of the qualifying races it was even Steven then the 125 pocket rocket , Berwick's Luke Harrison won heat 8 from the Gems pair leaving the running totals as Meteors 11, Gems 11 Raiders 14 Bays 12.

With just one ride each for the riders it was all to play for and Berwick's 500 boys took a 4-2 from the Meteors followed by a drawn heat 3-3 between the Gems and Bays.

The final brace of 125 races saw Harrison again win for the Raiders taking a 3-2 advantage over the Meteors ( only 2 riders finished) with a last heat 3-3 between the Gems and the Bays , with Joe Thompson taking the win, leaving the final totals as;

Meteors 15, Gems 17, Raiders 21, Bays 18.
