Event 4 - 13th June - Newbury CC at Liddington.

The handicappers were almost spot on in the Newbury Road Club promotion when the scratch and second group failed to catch the lead group by only 10 seconds, although scratch gave away 7 minutes.The first group consisting of mainly over forty year olds worked well together in the drizzling rain on the undulating Aldbourne circuit but the main pack were closing them down rapidly gaining a minute in the last 3 miles but just failing to make the junction. Three of the first five finishers were aged sixty or over, proof that age is no barrier to winning when you try hard enough.
