Team GB captain, Paul Heard was in fine form, top scorer the match, while Ipswich battled hard in second, and despite a late run of victories, Stockport had to settle for third ahead of fourth placed East Park.

Wednesfield’s winning squad

Kesgrave won back to back under 13 titles just before the open final, ahead of hard chasing Ipswich, while Coventry defeated Bury in a run off for third place.

The Panther’s star man, Lewis Brinkoff, rode to an impressive maximum, but all the Kesgrave riders played their part in ensuring the title went back to suffolk.

It was a meeting full of thrills and spills with Coventry’s under 10 prospect Ronnie Wassall coming to grief heavily after a challenge up the inside in the early stages, but bravely carried on to finish his rides.
