BUSY DAY FOR YOUNG LIONS

THE Young Lions in association with the promotions at both Redcar and Scunthorpe successfully held a double-header of youth rounds on Sunday.

A total of 28 riders competed in the morning at Redcar split across the three groups of 500cc, 125cc and 125cc Support Class, and also four demonstration races from William Cairns and Caydin Martin riding their 250cc motorcycles, with the series then moving to Scunthorpe in the evening.

Youth boss Neil Vatcher said: “There was some fantastic racing at both venues and the winners at the events were Jody Scott and Ben Trigger in the 500cc class at Redcar and Scunthorpe respectively, Cooper Rushen won both events in the 125cc class, with Harry Fletcher winning the support class at Redcar and Jack Franklin at Scunthorpe.

“The only blip on what was a successful day was a broken wrist by Adam Sidyk who competes in the support class, and everyone at the Young Lions wishes him a speedy recovery.”
