Over the weekend Horspath celebrated their 70th Anniversary! Their weekend entailed a mixture of individual and team race events. 
Ace Corey Burt had been invited to race in the Juniors event which he scored 8 points following a race DNF. 
Then due to other commitments many of our senior riders were away but thankfully to Nat, Jasper, Elijah and Alex all stepping up to represent the team in the team event. Unfortunately, the lads did not make it past the semi final stages to qualify for the final but a good days racing was enjoyed by all.

SUNDAY RACING REPORT…

The aces travelled to perry bar to take on Birmingham on Sunday it was very competitive match with the lead changing hands 3 times, the Monarchs had multi World finalist and former British champion Paul heard and multi world finalist Chris Timms at reserves just in case. Ht1 was a 6/4 win where Heard got the better of Lee in the first of their 3 meetings of the afternoon. Aces took the lead in the match with a superb 3/7 from CJ & Tom in Ht3 which was increased with a 4/6 in Ht5 from Corey & Scott Doc the first of 2 Ht wins for Corey. Lee got the better of Heard in Ht7 holding him to last place with Alex taking the 2nd. Aces lost the lead in the last heat of the half with a 7/3 ht loss so at half-time the scores stood at Bham 46 Aces 44. Two consecutive Ht wins at the start of the second half for the Aces saw them restore 3pnt lead but Timms came out in 12&13 to record maximum ht wins and restore Bham's lead to 6pnts but a brilliant maximum to Corey & CJ in 16 brought it back to 2pnts and thats how it ended with bham using Timms in last two make sure they secured the win.
Plenty of positives for the Aces a return to action for Tom, Corey mixing it with the big boys CJs continued improvement after his injury. Alex's points return was impressive as was king of team riding Scott Docs bonus points.

Two of our aces had been called up to represent the Midlands team yesterday in the junior Battle of Britain event hosted by Coventry. Despite the strong team of the East and South West the team still gave it their all! Corey was top scorer for the team scoring 15 points and team partner Elijah also contributed 6 points to the team! Awesome effort lads! Well done to you both!

​After his first England call up Corey joined Charlie and Lily Parr, Tom Dunphy and George Whale in the England B squad. Contributing a cracking 12 points to the total including a race win - England B brought home the win!
Many congratulations to the team and to Corey for his incredible performance! Well done mate!
