AUSTRALIA: Jets take double in Round 3 of league

It was action packed at Findon for round 3 of the Club Leagues with LeFevre Dolphins, Salisbury Jets and Findon Comets battling it out to progress to the Grand Final in November.

The Division 4 (Under 13) League was first cab off the rank and the main battle was between the Jets and Comets with the Jets winning the day by 4 points. There was no more than a ‘few’ points separating the two teams in the 18 race 3 team formula.

Only one exclusion was handed out and it was the Comets’ Cooper Osborne for (accidental) legging in his last race. It was a very controversial decision as to whether he actually did leg and got the noisy supporters of both camps on their feet to voice their opinion.

This completes the minor round and the Findon Comets and Salisbury Jets will do battle in the Grand Final on the second weekend in November.

Division 1 was also a cracker event with the Jets taking the honours by 1 point from the Dolphins. The Comets had 1 exclusion to the Jets’ 2 exclusions in the action packed meeting.

There were no more than a few points between the 3 teams with Joel Chadwick shining for the Jets and Ty Geertsen for the Dolphins. The Comets were constantly under attack as the Jets had Chadwick and the Dolphins Geertsen as their swing riders and both clubs put them up against the Comets throughout the meeting.

This completes the minor round and the LeFevre Dolphins and Salisbury Jets will do battle in the Grand Final on the second weekend in November.
