June 30 Metro Fours (White City) Okay as promised. Just two races in the second half of this one: a reserves race and a 'Victor Ludorum' (as they were always called in those days!!) for the four teams' top scorers. Reserves Race: Trevor Geer (White City) Red 2nd. Steve Lomas (Hackney) Blue 1st. Brendan Shilleto (*) (Wimbledon) White 3rd. B. Proch (Reading) (**) Y/B fell. exc. Proch fell in first staging; excluded from rerun. Time: 75.0 Victor Ludorum: Gordon Kennett (White City) Red 1st. Keith White (Hackney) Blue 4th. Larry Ross (Wimbledon) White 3rd. John Davis (Reading) Y/B 2nd. Time: 73.6 * - the programme printed the Dons' reserve's name as "Brundan Shirreto"...!!!! ** TBH, I didn't write in the first name of Mr. Proch the Reading reserve who contributed a match-winning six points to the Racers total. Probably didn't know how to spell it then and can't recall at all what it was now!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
