MATCH REPORT: Underwood Flyers enjoy successful day at Welsh Riders Championships

A green army descended on Newport Cycle Speedway at the weekend, as Underwood Flyers made the short journey to take part in the 2014 Welsh Riders’ Championship.

It wasn’t long before everyone realised they meant business with 3rd place regional BYJL medallist Logan Smith taking the spoils in the U8s, and then 2nd place in U10s, after Joshua Evans of Newport.

The flyers carried on reaping the rewards with Dan Wright U12s and Ieuan Payne in the U14s taking the trophies back to underwood. The travelling crowd roared with delight as they welcomed U13s former British champion ‘Jamie-lea walters back to the track, after a few years out. But it was Coventry star Kyle Roberts who took the U16s title and then went on to win the open.
