BRITISH U19 FINAL DRAW

THE draw has been made for the British Under-19 Final at Workington on Saturday October 11.

Defending champion Ace Pijper has been drawn at No.3 and the opening race of the meeting will see him clash with Luke Harrison, who was runner-up last year.

The line-up includes several riders with significant Championship experience, as well as 15-year-olds Cooper Rushen, Ryan Ingram and Charlie Southwick.

GB Youth boss Neil Vatcher said: “This is an extremely strong Final and in each heat there will be some great clashes, none more so than Heat 1!

“Thereafter each and every heat will be tense, and it would be really hard to pick out any favourites.

“Both Luke Harrison and Jody Scott have had some Premiership experience for King’s Lynn this season, Vinnie Foord represents his home club, and both Ace Pijper and Sam McGurk are former Workington riders.

“A lot has been spoken about Will Cairns and Cooper Rushen, and whether this Final will come too early for them or not only time will tell!”

DRAW: 1 Luke Harrison, 2 Ryan Ingram, 3 Ace Pijper, 4 Jamie Etherington, 5 Will Cairns, 6 Ben Trigger, 7 Sam McGurk, 8 Freddy Hodder, 9 Max Perry, 10 Jody Scott, 11 Cooper Rushen, 12 Stene Pijper, 13 Vinnie Foord, 14 Charlie Southwick, 15 Jordy Loftus, 16 Ashton Vale. Reserves: 17 Harry Fletcher, 18 Lee Harrison.

There will also be British Youth Championship action on the day with the 250cc and 125cc classes following the British Under-19 Final.
