#poolecsc

After a quick look at the model cars my focus returned to the cycle speedway. I shouldn’t have been surprised to see 7 riders from my home Poole CSC team in the Southwest and Wales team; they are such a strong club. It was a 3 way tie, the other two teams being North, Scotland and East, plus the Midlands. I could only stay until half time when The South West and Wales team were nudging ahead. I’ll add the full add the final score as soon as it is published.

Always well organized and supported with space at the end for a juniors’ competition. Another most enjoyable afternoon.

Far from boring though, a decent crowd enjoyed the thrills, spills and argy-bargy. When Comets’ captain Dean Hook was excluded for moving on the start followed by a Comets spill, The Hammers nudged ahead …..but not for long. With a Hammers exclusion and spill, and some clever riding from Poole, The Comets edged ahead finishing 91-86 victors. Great weather and atmosphere again made this a most enjoyable afternoon.

It's a great family day out when it's not raining, though most had brought golf umbrellas. On looking up the results, the order above is the declared result of today’s racing.
