THE BMX National series moved on to Round four at the Mid Lancs Club on Sunday, and as usual it was an action- packed weekend with 300 riders taking part, including 15 of Royston's finest.
Royston Rockets' involvement started with Ted Dalleywater taking second place in the under-six year B final, while in the seven- year class Ethan Vernon raced to first place, with Daniel Blanche fourth, and Aaron Threader close behind in fifth.
In the eight-year class, Aaron Dalleywater made the A final and finished seventh, while in the nine- year class Ethan Lewis finished second in the B final.
There were mixed results in the 11-12 year class with James Handleigh eighth, with team mate Louis Burton failing to qualify from the opening rounds. Antony Taylor also had a variable weekend, with his fifth placed finish in the 13-14 year B final.
In the 19-plus men's class Jonathan Roberts took a deserved fourth in the main final and in the junior female section, Katie Roberts finished third overall.
Lee Alexander returned to masterclass action with a fine third placed finish in the A final, while in the elite section Laurence Mapp secured second place, with Richard Townsend finishing eighth in the B Final.
