The weather was very hot at the latest round of the Brooks Cycles Track League at Newcastle, Staffs, on Thursday 11th July 2013. All groups competing rode hard over the full race program with some entertaining racing witnessed.

Group 1 Harry Horn Lyme RC
Group 2 Lucy Scott Lyme RC
Group 3 Ruby Baldwin Lyme RC
Cameron O’Neil
Owen Shepherd

Sean attacked with 250m to go to win from Phil Houlton ( Brooks Cycles) and Barney Swinnerton ( Swinnerton Cycles). Sean also won the 200m TT event which opened the nights racing and the team sprint was won by Barney Swinnerton ,Phil Houlton and Dave Smith ( Stafford RC).

Joe Swinnerton ( Lyme RC) won the devil and Charlie Cox ( Lichfield CC ) took a double as he won the course de primes and was the first B rider over the line in the 10 mile scratch.
The youth numbers were down this week with other school functions clashing with the league however James Brayford ( Lyme RC) took full advantage of Liam Zwetchnikow’s absence in scoring 9 points with wins in the 200m TT and the devil. Alex Coates ( Lyme RC) did a great ride in the youth scratch to take the win from Sam Hall ( Lyme RC)
