The Under 12 category once again proved our riders are ones to watch out for. Represented by Tallulah, Natalia and Tilly- it’s fair to say our girls were on fire! They all produced some great racing encompassing some brilliant gating and passes, however a twitch at the tapes from Tilly unfortunately landed her in a run-off for the final spot in the A Final along with Natalia. Tilly narrowly missed out on that coveted spot in the A Final with Natalia taking the final A final position. Tilly dug deep to fight for the win in the B Final. Talullah flew past all 3 of her opponents in the A Final to get a very impressive win from some strong riders with Natalia coming home in 4th.

The Under 14, Under 16/Under 18 and Girls categories were all run concurrently to finish off the day.
With only 4 riders in the Under 14 category, one being our Teddy, they definitely put on a show! Teddy completed his Regional Round 3 completely unbeaten in the heats and topped it off with a win in fine style in the A Final!
