MATCH REPORT: Salisbury Patrons Closed Championship

Salisbury Cycle Speedway recently underwent some upgrades, including the addition of 23 tonnes of Dolomites to the track, and the back straight was re-leveled and concreted. On Friday, March 14th, Salisbury Cycle Speedway held their annual Patrons Closed Championship. Despite the very warm conditions, they still managed to host another successful and entertaining night, as always. There were lots of interesting races, with riders having to adapt quickly to the significant changes in the new circuit. It was great to see strong numbers in both the Junior and Senior grades, with riders displaying impressive skills and fearless moves. The Division 4, Division 3, and Open Women’s grades definitely had some riders to keep an eye on for the upcoming State Titles in May.

Division 3: Jacob Ffrench
