Norfolk v Suffolk return match
HETHERSETT HAWKS / YELLOW BRICK MORTGAGES had six riders representing Norfolk in return Junior matches against Suffolk at Harford Park, Norwich.
In the Under-10s Luca El Labany helped set the platform for a team win by joining Norfolk Champion Connor Jarrett for a 7-3 win in his first ever team race. Substitute Lewis Smith also produced some key rides as Norfolk won 82-78 and secured an aggregate win.
The Under-16 match was also a close affair. Charlie Lyth, unbeaten in five rides, had support from Paul Delaiche and when these two came out for the final nominated riders race Norfolk were leading 75-74. Their opponents were British Under-14 champion Harvey Young and Kristian Mitchell. Two pile-ups meant the race was re-started twice but disaster struck as Charlie fell and Suffolk took full advantage to take the race 6-4 and the overall victory 81-78. George Larter-Dixon and McKenzie Loombe also had their moments for Norfolk.
The Norfolk under 10’s beat Suffolk under 10’s 82-78 to win overall 171-149.
