League Finale for 17-18

6/7/18

This year's Young Hackney primary School Cycling League reached it's conclusion last friday with a Grass track event at Hackney Downs. I can't remember a hotter drier day on the Downs for grass track - super fast if a bit bumpy for riding on. 

 Six schools were in attendance - would Jubilee catch Millfields in the overall? Would Mandeville beat Gayhurst and finish 4th in the league? Could Grazebrook catch Shacklewell? Lots to play for and little time to fit 16 races into.

The year 4 heats were first - two heats each for the girls and boys. In the girls <erle from Gayhurst won heat 1 from Charlie of Jubilee whilst in heat 2Margo from Gayhurst came 1st from Agynes of Jubilee to set up an all Gayhurst/Jubilee final. Merle took the honours followed by Charlie then Margo.
