Great performances by the 2 young club teams taking part in the Lincolnshire inter-club grass track champs at the Heckington show, as part of a record entry of 8 x 6 rider teams.

With good team prizes thanks to generous sponsorship from North Kesteven council every place counted and it was great to see all the youngsters fighting for every point, in what for many was their first race after only 4 weeks training on fixed wheel track bikes.

Conditions were very tough as a strong headwind down the back straight really slowed the younger riders and with an average team age of only 11 and 10 respectively it was always going to be tough competing against teams containing several 16 year olds.

After 3 rounds it was the very experienced Bourne Red team that came out on top with Witham A a very creditable 4th and Witham B enjoying the experience of competing in front of a big crowd in 8th.
