Senior Indoor Team result
 
I was so confident that we'd be home by lunch that I left the roast in the oven! Seriously I didnt expect our make shift team to do anything, but they scored 38 points in the first round which was just good enough to get them into the semis as highest scoring losers, beating Eaton on 32. All the more amazing because Nicky was serving out his match ban.
  
The semi looked like we'd be battling to avoid last place even with Nicky in the team, but we had probably the worst start ever in the competition, after 5 races we had scored 1 point thanks to 4 exclusions, 3 of which were quite justified!!! In the next 11 races we scored a further 25 points but we had too much to do and finished last, but only 7 points behind.
  
 
We didnt enter the U-19 team, but Gt Blakenham didnt turn up so our two youngsters volunteered to ride, always destined to be just making up the numbers with only 50% of a team of course, and against much older riders, but they were on the pace and scored 13 (Carl 7, Lucy 6)
