I had a brilliant day and scored my first paid max in a league match - I scored 9+3. I made a good start in the first race and won it. In the 2nd race I didn't quite make the start but managed to get into 2nd place as I was coming out of the 2nd bend and stayed behind my team mate. In the 3rd race I made a very poor start and I couldn't get past the two away riders as they were team riding but somehow I found a gap to go in between them as I was coming out of the 4th bend and I took the risk and it was my best pass I have ever done. In the 4th race I made quite a good start and picked up 2nd place behind my team mate.
So I was very pleased with my result and scored my first paid max in a league match.
And I won the Man of the Match Award, sponsored by Bassett Cleansing Services. Thank you very much for this.
