In the championship class there was an intense 2-hour battle between Ricky Wiggins and Brad King , Brad was on a mission, but Ricky eventually took the lead and pulled a slight gap to take the win. The pair were the only riders to get 14 laps. In a comfy third place was Josh Lawer, racking up some good points towards the series standings.

The expert class had another incredibly close race between the top two of Ollie Heard and Daryl Biles. Ollie pulled an early lead, but Daryl closed the gap every lap just missing out on the win by a single second! In third place was Paddy Twentyman who had a spectacular start getting the holeshot!

In the expert Vets class Gary McCoy had a mouthful of Si Thomas's hole shot roost, then bounced off everything for a lap! But soon took the lead and maintained this position throughout to the chequered flag. In second place was Adrian Heard who fought off eventual third place rider Jack Twentyman.

Frazer Lawrence took the win in the clubman A class and impressively finishing in 16th overall. Right behind in second place was Jamie Cass with Matt Holland in a close third place.

In the clubman Vets class, Alex Lamble had another belting race to finish on the top spot again. In second place was Warren Burbage with Neil Ross a little way behind in third.

Another close race in the clubman B class with first and second setting the same fastest lap of 15:52. In the end it was Luke Haggarty who took the win with Adam McCarthy in second. Jayden Wheeler finished up in third.

The sportsman vets class was won by Tim Mathers with Jorden Pontin in second. Andy Pennel was a lap down in third place.

John Broomfield took the top spot in the sportsman class and set the fastest lap of the group by over 30 seconds! In second place was consistent Joe Freeman, with Henry Walsh in Third.

Once again in the youth class George Ward was unbeatable finishing a lap up on the rest of the class. In second place was Louie Maytom-Yalland who also had a great finishing two laps up on third place Bradley Ball.

Thank you, Stan, Cav and Chester, for help track laying and Dinger and Georgie for assistance taking down! Thank you to Pete and Shane for the help on the day, as well as Jen for helping at sign on and our team of travelling marshals who kept everything flowing and picked up a few people out of the magnetic brambles!

The final round of the series is Sunday 16th March at Manor Farm, this week we are clearing an additional section of woodland to extend the lap and as usual we will be mixing up the format for a new layout. Entries will open soon. The awards ceremony will be held at a practice day either mid-April or early May.
