A point of interest is that Jason Garrity, the 14 year old Belle Vue mascot clocked a time of 62.7 seconds which was faster than all the Academy League matches. This came straight after he had a nasty high-side too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess that would explain why the red lights didn't come on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
