GH Motorcycles & GB Finch Youth Series
11th September 2022 at Pebmarsh
Report Paula Day
A damp misty morning following heavy rain greeted the sombre riders briefing
as Roger Chaplin the President of Sudbury MCC paid tribute to the Late Queen
Elizabeth II before a 2 minutes silence.
As the mist burnt off the gloom truly lifted for the afternoons youth race.
The GH Motorcycles & GB Finch Youth Race was an 1 hour long Hare & Hound
event, with the sun now shining and firm going underfoot following the earlier 2
man adult championship round.
With
some new faces joining our junior members and racing over the last two rounds it
was nice to welcome back Rueben Hills & Harry Fordham and see Oliver Cates
on the starting line. The shortened youth course asked enough questions to keep
the youngsters aged 12 to 16 years up on their pegs, changes of terrain,
ditches, logs and slippery stubble with long fast straights gave them plenty to
concentrate on. Following a le man start where the field ran to their bikes and
pulled away, it was Gosfield based Stanly Delany who again had the flying start
and took the first corner in the lead over final winner Eddie Belton close on
his heels with Rueben Hills, Henry Belton, Louie Curry and Harry Fordham in hot
pursuit. Eddie Soon got the lay of the course and took the lead managing to lap
Stanly twice before the finish flag, proud to be keeping his unbeaten record in
this Hedingham based Eddies first year of youth enduro racing in Sudburys own
youth championship series since turning 12 last December.
