MAX BROADHURST TAKES THE HONOURS AT THE ALAN GRAHAME MEMORIAL The 2025 Midland Development League came to a close for 2025 at Birmingham with the Alan Grahame Memorial individual with 12 riders contesting it over 9 heats and a final. Birmingham Buffaloes Max Broadhurst took the honours winning all his three qualifying races then remaining unbeaten with success in the final ahead of Ryan Ashcroft and Dylan Huthwaite whilst Eli Meadows took a tumble to end his hopes of remaining unbeaten on the night. With 16 heats in total with 6 junior 125cc demos and a short delay after one of them Cody Smith crashed just before the finish line in his first ride , the pits staff did a first class and efficient job of completing this in 52 minutes !! Cody ended up at hospital with two black eyes, sore wrist and concussion unfortunately. It was a fitting tribute to Alan Grahame who always had time to help the young riders. Heat scorers : Max Broadhurst 9, Eli Meadows 9, Ryan Ashcroft 7, Dylan Huthwaite 6, Harrison Rogers 6, Joe Crewe 5, Jacob Fellows 5, Jack Crewe 3, Bailey Fellows 1, Will Boraston 1, Austin Riches 1, Jake Breeze 1. Final : Max Broadhurst , Ryan Ashcroft, Dylan Huthwaite, Eli Meadows (fell)

Never been on my radar but i saw him in the meeting at Foxhall on the BSN last week and I did think he looked a prospect!

Yes and as not many bookmakers price the actual match up now,I normally forget the handicap betting and would have had the three yesterday but one of the teams were 100-1 on.

Monarchs have an 8 point lead , but they are without Grahn at reserve but have Jacb hook who did well at Glasgow last week with Workington, Will they have Victor or a guest? Will Glasgow have a full team, seems to be a rare thing for Glasgow at the moment. It is doable for the tiggers to go through, they did win 50-40 in the bsn series, it should be a cracking meeting regardless as the Monarchs can ride Ashfield as well as the tiggers, but they haven't came against our Danish rocket, Villads Nagel who rides similar to Ben Basso, without fear.

Well, they definitely needed more than 4 from Kerr to win!

Well spent, then!

You made it sound like he would just be chucked into British racing …

Looks like the draw for the QF’s is live on ESS play after tomorrow’s Indianerna v Lejonen match. Time for the draw is 21.30 local time.

Lemo has had all year to change it.

65-25 end the season

Hi guys last round of this tricky league. Have you guys found any hidden RR? My selections are: Iversen (99% sure). Dudek (50/50 after his crash in Wroclaw). Woryna or Zmarzlik, pretty sure Lejonen will do something fishy tonight.

They can't as it would dislodge the potatoes.

Big improvement in the racing last two meetings at Redcar. It is great to see.

I’m struggling to see why this comment was laughed at ⬆️

Congrats to Mikkel Andersen. I haven’t watched it yet but i understand it was a cracking meeting.

Number 5 for Freddie i think.

Good crowed at Sheffield , track was prepared for racing and we had some good heats. But were was the grader once the dirt moved out we got the one line follow the leader racing' Come on track staff drag the dirt back off the fence people dont pay to see riders following each other two foot rom the fence. More racing lines are needed first few races were good both inside and outside being used. Sheffield used to be a great racetrack and still should be if they pull the dirt back more often.

Very much a gating contest and one our bottom end have been successful at in the not too distant past. Norick has fairly recently posted scores of Paid 9 & 2 Paid 8’s but he was making the all important start, so crucial at Foxhall. Similarly Jake 2 Paid 6’s and Zach Paid 13 & Paid 10, both riders wearing their gating gloves on those occasions. I’m not overly optimistic of an Aces win nor an exciting night’s actions as the gate’n’go leagues second best gaters take on the perennial worst of the bunch. All those “it’s only 15 minutes of entertainment” will be having kittens as this one will be down to less than 2 minutes.

Wasn't he at Leicester the other day?!

Clerk of the course will know.!!😉

Spent the printers money on Jonus and Nick.

Zach lodges at Middlo's, as does his brother still, and they are all in their own WhatsApp group. Unfortunately it seems not all the riders like the same track prep and once in gets in your head it can affect your performances and your set-ups- especially if riders are carrying niggling injuries as well.

Happy to be proved wrong,just my opinion.

No I haven't... he's never there when I go to get one!
