REPORT
Overcast skies and windy conditions greeted
over 80 junior riders from around the state to the annual Randwick
Botany Cycling Club Junior Open Carnival at Heffron Park on Saturday
14 May 2005. Spurred on by the success of Aussie riders like Robbie
McEwen in the Giro d'Italia, young stars of the future competed in a
series of scratch, points, handicap and elimination races.
The premier U17 Keith Harris Memorial Elimination Trophy Elimination
Race provided some exciting racing in the all-in event. Riders
started together and the last 2 riders at the end of each lap were
eliminated from the race. The surviving riders in finishing order
were Richard Lang (Colnago-Caravello), Luke Davison (Randwick Botany/FRF
Couriers) and Nicholas Spratt (Penrith Panthers).
Dale Scarfe from the Central Coast Cycling Club rode strongly is all
his races, winning the U17 A-Grade 20km event and placing second in
the U17 A-Grade Point score.
Chloe Hosking from the Canberra Cycling Club stayed with the boys and
was the first girl home in the U17 B-Grade 16km race. Hosking also
finished third in the mixed U17 B-Grade Point score.
The best Randwick Botany/FRF Couriers Cycling Club rider of the day
was Luke Davison who was on the podium for two of his three races.
Davison finished second in the U17 Elimination race, third in the U17
A-Grade 20km event and fourth in the U17 A-Grade Point score.
The annual junior carnival Matthew Bosch Memorial Prize award was
presented to U13 rider Caleb Ewan from the Southern Highlands Cycling
Club. The Matthew Bosch Memorial Prize is presented to the gutsiest
rider in the U13 races. The award is in memory of Matthew Bosch who
died in 1995 from cancer, aged 11 years. Matthew could only ride a
fixed gear bike with training wheels because of an intellectual
disability, but he showed great love and determination for his
riding. The award was presented by Matthew’s mother Tanya Bosch.
Randwick City Councilors Robert Belleli and
Bradley Hughes enjoyed the junior racing and made several
presentations to place getters.
All riders where presented with a box of
Kellogg’s K-Time Bars, kindly donated by Kellogg’s who supported the
event.

Report from our Junior Support Officer, Janette Murdoch
Dear All,
RBCC Junior
Open was held on the weekend (Saturday 14 May), it was a great day
mainly due to the support of some wonderful volunteers, especially
grateful for those who are not involved in the junior programme but
still managed to give up their Saturday to help out, particularly
wish to thank Anna Fortuna who worked tirelessly all day in the
canteen, plus baked some wonderful treats the night before for canteen
sales, Julia Guinan who came down for the early set up and stayed all
morning helping out with the registration table and marshalling, Bebe
Laurence who helped out with the Commissaires, my husband Mark Murdoch
who helped set up early in the morning and then spent all day
marshalling at the netball courts. Big thank you to the Paton &
Bykerk families, Jennifer & Emma Jones for their time, as neither of
their sons/daughter raced due to injury but still managed to give us
some time.
Also like to
give a big thank you to the Club Executive for their tireless efforts
throughout the day and in the planning leading up to the day, John &
Joanne Buckton, Fred & Helen Vella, Chris White (for his great job on
the PA) Tony Horneman & Richard Jenkins & Dale Rockelle, Rocky
Fortuna.
Also
grateful to the parents of the riders entered in the days events for
the assistance & other club members who gave us a hand with the
marshalling (Warwick McAlpine, Roger Jowett, David Reed, Andy, Stephen
Price (who happened to turn up for senior racing and found himself
Marshalling, sorry about that Stephen). Hope haven't missed anyone
but if I have please accept my gratitude for your help so big THANK
