AUSTRALIA: Jets cruise to comfortable Div 1 win, Comets take U13

April 10, 2017 editor

Salisbury Jets cruised to a comfortable win in round 1 of the Club Leagues. On paper it looked like the Jets and Findon Comets had the strongest line up, but the Comets crashed in their first 2 races and sadly did not look the part for the rest of the meeting.

The Dolphins, anchored by Ty Geertsen and Jack Norman, finished second after scoring most of their points against the Comets.

Joel Chadwick scored a max of 24 for the Jets in his 6 outings and Shane Weinert dropped 1 point. Cody Chadwick scored 15 from 5 outings and Ryan Greenhalgh 13.

It was great racing in the 20inch (Under 13) Div 4 League, with the Findon Comets taking a win in the first round.

Comets were spearheaded by Cooper Osborne (6 rides), Braylan MacDonald (5) and Tylar MacDonald (4) who scored 14 points each closely followed by Brad Curnow (3) and Jemiar Sansbury (3) on 12 points each.

Salisbury Jets were lead by Bradley Williams-Cook on 19 (6 rides), Ben Pudney 16 (5) and Cooper Davies on 11 (6).

LeFevre Dolphins just had 4 riders (which included Dylan Miller who is Under 7’s) and were ably led by Seth Foster who created some wonderful opportunities for his younger team mates.

Seth scored a very healthy 16 points, Rhys Below 13, Zayden Thompson 12 and Dylan Miller 7.
