Location: Rhyl, North Wales
Event: 29 August 2012
Report: Jon Harland


Gerallt Allen (Rhyl CC) continued his run of success at Rhyl's Marsh Tracks last Wednesday night under the streetlights, again involved in the animation of a high-speed race benefiting from several visitors from other tracks whose seasons have ended.

Over 30 riders duelled in drizzle, with Allen going clear with fellow North Walian Mike Cripps (Army CU) in the latter stages, the 16 year old heading for the line early to leave the 26 year old military cartographer unable to follow.

Another up and coming junior, RyanMorley (Fibrax Wrexham RC), took the 3rd and 4th cat section in the sprint six seconds behind Allen as the Graham Weigh Series goes in to its final 2 events.

In the Youth A race, Max Spedding (Birkenhead North End CC) completed a sterling solo effort with victory by 1 minute 15 seconds over Rhos-On-Sea CC's Alex Harvey and Tom Harding. Rhos's Jack Nash achieved the milestone of his first win in the Youth B race.
