Johnny Rankin Trophy (Open 25)
Event Info
A beautiful evening with Northerly winds blowing, which did nothing to slow the riders. It might have even helped them back to the finish, which would be a change on this course.
A Fine win for Keith Murray of the Ferryhill Wheelers with an astounding 51.29. I don't know but it might be very close to the course record.
Second was Harry Armstrong of Berwick Wheelers with 53.21
Third was his team mate Chris Isats in 53.37
Ride of the day was comeback rider Brian Johnson of the promoting club with a fantastic 55.59. He was as amazed as anyone. Things are looking up for the Barnesbury if this is anything to go by. Well done.
Everyone enjoyed the barbeque afterwards and a healthy sum was raised for the Dave rayner Fund too.
Well done to the marshals, sign putter upper trevor Leightley and the ever present timekeepers Haward Armstrong and Ray Luckett. Thank you all.
