Luke Davison's performance in the U13 Scratch race was outstanding just missing
out on fourth place. In the U13 Handicap, Davison rode exceedingly well,
finishing in the bunch. Mark Woodhouse and Jonathon Cridland were not able to
qualify in the U15 Pursuit but tried their utmost best. Luke Cridland qualified
10th in the U17 Pursuit just missing out on the semi-finals but being a 1st year
U17, his performance was much better than some of the 2nd year U17's. Luke
Davison competed in the U13 Elimination race and scored a 2nd place, riding up
the front all the way. Luke Cridland came 5th in the U17 Men's Consolation
Scratch Race.
The main event of the evening was the exciting Atlantis Relocations Madison
race. Luke Cridland from RBCC teamed with Tyler McLachlan from the Southern
Cross club to form the Sydney South U17 Madison Team. After a grueling 80 laps
of the velodrome circuit Luke and Tyler won the bronze medal, just missing out
on the silver by 1 point.
The four boys performance was excellent and were cheered on by their families
Pat Ballesty, Gai Cridland. Peter Davison, Ken and Mrs Woodhouse plus Helen and
Fred Vella and Brad & Lionel Cox.
Thanks to Helen Vella, Club Secretary, for
this report.
