The Young Hackney Primary Schools Cycling League is entering its 14th season following on from an almost uninterrupted 21-22 season which saw Millfields Community School cycle away with the shield once again.
Will this year be different? Well we will have some changes to the points scoring so that schools that miss an event due to inset days or the like aren't put at a disadvantage. The top six events scores for each school out of total of nine events will count towards the final league score. This will mean anyone missing one or two events won't be left far behind in the points. Those schools attending all events while have their best six totals counting - hopefully this will bring for closer totals at the tail end of the season.
Individual points will again be awarded 30 for 1st place 28 for second and so on downwards - all riders participating are automatically awarded a single point. The totals for year groups and genders then make up the schools total for the event.
We will be getting a new trophy as the shield has run out of space now - so look out for that.
If you want to get your school involved contact Young Hackney or message Neil at Cycling Club Hackney.
