Well it was definitely all about the Bog! And for anyone who didn't make it in person it was certainly a spectacle! Marshalls were put to the test as much as the riders by pulling pushing and lifting bikes out of the way as the conditions changed by the minute with several early heavy downpours which made the steep sides more treacherous for anyone trying to traverse the gully either side of the track. The rest of the track was made up of established woodland with perfect going punctuated by logs narrow turns and deadly slippery tree roots. Open farmland allowed for some speed when not taped up to create a chicane. The special test on laps 2 & 3 of the 7 laps required involved some tricky ditches along the bottom field which created a few problems and sadly the wooded section caused the early retirement of Joe Phillips after a crash in the woods. Joe who was chasing Jake Ropers rear mudguard for another 1 2 finish may have to wait for the next round at Blaxhall on the 7th July to continue that battle. The Roper household must have celebrated a great Father's Day as it was wins for father & son in the Clubman section & Expert Vets section, Roper was clearly the winning name as Jamie Roper won the championship class after a quiet few seasons recovering from injuries.
