Hull riders again competed on both days over the weekend. On Saturday Lewis Foxley, Noah Lyon and Harry Gibson rode in the Steve Harris Memorial Meeting at Astley & Tyldesley. In the Junior event Harry Scored 13 points to finish on the podium in fourth place with Noah scoring 14 points to finish in third place in a meeting won by British Junior Champion Luca Woodhouse of Great Blakenham with home rider Frank White runner-up. In the open meeting qualifying rounds Harry scored 10 points, Noah 13 points and Lewis 17 points which put him in a four man race off, for one place in the final, but he narrowly missed out finishing in second place to Bury’s Harry Radford. The four man final was won by current British Champion Mark Carmicheal of Horspath.

On Sunday Hull raced in the third round of The Yorkshire League at Sheffield Cookson on a warm sunny afternoon. A strong Hull side provided the heat winner in 10 of the 12 races they competed in and gave some valuable race time to Kacey Bennett. Sheffield again gave opportunities to some of their fringe first team riders along with regular Kielan Burton and proved very competitive as did Heckmondwike who produced their best performance for a few seasons. Lewis Foxley raced unbeaten for Hull with Noah Lyon and Jack Lister dropping just point each while Harry Gibson won three of his four starts. Kielan Burton was on top form for the home side with Joseph Green Impressing for the Saints. This gives Hull a one point lead over Sheffield in the league table with three events remaining, the next one being at Heckmondwike on July 12th.
