BlitzkriegBop Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 In terms of publicity for the event has no-one thought about putting this on the Bears Forum? The main Bears website is so far out of date and out of touch that few fans refer to it for information so for some it may be the only place they'll see that this event is on. It would make a good thread I reckon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCF Posted October 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 NJL 4TT 12/10/13 @ Redcar Group 1 Redcar Cubs – Joe Thompson 4, Ben Basford 2, Dan Thompson 1, Kev Whelan 0 Linlithgow Lightning – Shaun Wilson 6, Jamie Halder 6, Sam Stead 5, John MacPhail 1 Castleford Kings – Krys Bialecki 4, Kevin Keay 4, Kieran Douglas 3, Luke McKenna 2 Berwick Border Raiders – James McBain 6, Leon Flint 3, Stefan Farnaby 1, Ryan Morris 0 Heat 1 McBain, Bailecki, MacPhail, Whelan (Fell), 0-1-2-3=0-1-2-3 Heat 3 Flint, Stead, Douglas, D Thompson (Fell) 0-2-1-3=0-3-3-6 Heat 5 Wilson (T, 15m), Keay, Basford, Farnaby (EF) 1-3-2-0=1-6-5-6 Heat 7 Halder, J Thompson, McKenna, Morris 2-3-1-0=3-9-6-6 Heat 9 Wilson, Bialecki, Farnaby, Whelan (EF) 0-3-2-1=3-12-8-7 Heat 11 Halder, Douglas, D Thompson, Morris 1-3-2-0=4-15-10-7 Heat 13 McBain, Keay, Basford, MacPhail 1-0-2-3=5-15-12-10 Heat 15 Stead, J Thompson, McKenna, Flint (FX) 2-3-1-0=7-18-13-10 A tough match in group one with the home team getting no luck at all, with 4 falls while in good point’s positions plus a thrown chain for Kev Whelan it really wasn’t there day. Linlithgow dominated the group, the highlight been when Wilson touched the tapes in heat 5 and went from 15, before lap 1 was over he was in the lead. Castleford plugged away with a great team performance, no wins but more importantly no lasts meaning they made the final. Berwick could count themselves very unlucky with Leon Flint leading the last race which would have seen them through, he hit hole going into turn three ending with a nasty fall.

RCF Posted October 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 NJL 4TT 12/10/13 @ Redcar Group 2 Workington Meteors – Tommy Fenwick 4, Lewis Winthrop 3, Ryan MacDonald 2, Jack Wright 2 Northside Stars - Glyn Picken 4, James Hitchen 3, Luke Ruddick 1, Kyle Bickley 0 Newcastle Gems – Matt Williamson 6, William O’Keefe 5, Archie Freeman 4, Josh Embleton 2 Barrow Bombers – Rob Shuttleworth 3, Harry McGurk 3, Lloyd Ditchburn 3, Kyle Deans 1 Heat 2 Williamson, Fenwick, Shuttleworth (F), Ruddick 2-0-3-0=2-0-3-0 Heat 4 Freeman, Wright, McGurk (F), Bickley (EF) 2-0-3-0=4-0-6-0 Heat 6 Picken, Embleton, Deans, MacDonald (F) 0-3-2-1=4-3-8-1 Heat 8 O’Keefe, Winthrop, Ditchburn, Hitchen 2-0-3-1=6-3-11-2 Heat 10 Williamson, Fenwick, Picken, Deans 2-1-3-0=8-4-14-2 Heat 12 Hitchen, Ditchburn, Freeman, Wright 0-3-1-2=8-7-15-4 Heat 14 Shuttleworth, MacDonald, Ruddick, Embleton 2-1-0-3=10-8-15-7 Heat 16 McGurk, O’Keefe, Winthrop, Bickley (EF) 1-0-2-3=11-8-17-10 This was a much tighter group, with Newcastle running away with it, it looked like a straight fight between Workington and Northside for the final spot, however with 3 heats left Barrow pulled themselves together and missed qualification by 1 point, early falls from Shuttleworth and McGurk costing them. Northside were also unlucky with mechanical gremlins hitting both Ruddick and Bickley. So the Meteors scrapped through to the final Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCF Posted October 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 NJL 4TT 12/10/13 @ Redcar Final Linlithgow – Sam Stead 6, Jamie Halder 2, Shaun Wilson 1, John MacPhail 0 Workington – Ryan MacDonald 6, Tommy Fenwick 5, Lewis Winthrop 5, Jack Wright 1 Newcastle – Matt Williamson 5, William O’Keefe 3, Josh Embleton 1, Archie Freeman 1 Castleford – Kieran Douglas 5, Krys Bialecki 3, Kevin Keay 3, Luke McKenna 1 Heat 17 Williamson, Fenwick, Bialecki, MacPhail 0-2-3-1=0-2-3-1 Heat 18 Stead, Douglas, Freeman, Wright 3-0-1-2=3-2-4-3 Heat 19 MacDonald, Keay, Embleton, Wilson (Puncture) 0-3-1-2=3-5-5-5 Heat 20 Winthrop, Halder, O’Keefe, McKenna 2-3-1-0=5-8-6-5 Heat 21 MacDonald, Williamson, Keay, MacPhail 0-3-2-1=5-11-8-6 Heat 22 Stead, Winthrop, McKenna, Freeman 3-2-0-1=8-13-8-7 Heat 23 Fenwick, Bialecki, Wilson, Embleton 1-3-0-2=9-16-8-9 Heat 24 Douglas, O’Keefe, Wright, Halder (EF) 0-1-2-3=9-17-10-12 In the eventful final it was Workington that took the title in style by the end, after only scraping through the group stage the team clicked, the highlight been MacDonald being the first man to beat the very fast Williamson in heat 21, but it was a full team effort and a well-deserved victory. Castleford continued their strong team work to come in second with Newcastle third. Linlithgow can feel a bit hard done by with 2 EF’s when in good positions. It will be Craig Branneys Meteors to be the first team engraved on this particular bit of silverware though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCF Posted October 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 (edited) Northern 125 Championship round 4 @ Redcar 12/10/13 Sam Stead 1,2 = 3 Ryan Morris 0, X = 0 Kyle Bickley 3, 3, F – EF = 6 Harry McGurk 2, 2 = 4 William O’Keefe 1, 0 = 1 Joe Thompson 2, 2 = 4 Luke McKenna 0, 1 = 1 Leon Flint 3, 3, F – 3 = 9 Lewis Winthrop 0, 1 = 1 Dean Douglas 1, X = 1 James Hitchen 3, 2, F – 0 = 5 Lloyd Ditchburn 2, 1 = 3 Kieran Douglas 3, 3, F – 2 = 8 Dan Thompson 2, 3, F – 1 = 6 Jack Wright 0, X = 0 Archie Freeman 1, 0 = 1 Heat 1 Bickley, McGurk, Stead, Morris Heat 3 Flint, J Thompson, O’Keefe, McKenna Heat 5 Hitchen, Ditchburn, D Douglas, Winthrop (F) Heat 7 K Douglas, D Thompson, Freeman, Wright Heat 9 K Douglas, Stead, Winthrop, O’Keefe Heat 11 D Thompson, J Thompson, D Douglas (X), Morris (X) Heat 13 Bickley, Hitchen, McKenna, Wright (X) Heat 15 Flint, McGurk, Ditchburn, Freeman Final Flint, K Douglas, D Thompson, Hitchen, Bickley (EF) (5 Man Final) The final round of the championship had to be cut short due to a lengthy delay in the senior championship so each rider only got 2 qualifying rides rather than their programmed 3, with Dan Thompson and James Hitchen tied on 5 a piece it was decided a 5 man final was the fairest way to go. Leon Flint led from start to finish for his 2nd round win of the season which secured him 2nd in the overall championship, series winner Bickley was in second on the second lap when his bike packed up leaving series bronze medallist Kieran Douglas to take silver on the day. The 3 of them have been dominant all season and deserve a lot of credit. Edited October 13, 2013 by Northern Junior League Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
