Brothers shine (13/05/07)
A total contrast in track conditions have been experienced by Bridgnorth Motocross Club
riders at recent events with dust being a problem a couple of weeks ago and a total mud washout
on Sunday causing an early curtailment of racing.
In earlier dry conditions the Bridgnorth
Club Secretary Dave Padfield bagged the overall second prize in the Seniors. On an increasingly
rough track at Pattingham second, forth and fifth placings earned his 1st prize of the season.
The second day of the international meeting staged by Wolverhampton Club near Cleobory
Mortimer saw more saw more success for Bridgnorth Clubman and only is fourth meeting since
rejoining the club Luke Bagnall was the star performer. He raced to three
superb wins in the Juniors to take the overall top prize and soon that form should soon see him
joining his brother, Lewis, in the Seniors.
Lewis also shone at the meeting and contesting
his first event since upgrading, promptly went out and won his first race as a senior.
He was leading his second race but had a brief spill and undeterred he charged back
through the field to take forth at the flag and a last moto fifth, again coming through the
pack earned the Senior overall second prize at the first attempt.
The diminutive but
determined Jordan Ward (12) celebrated his Dad Ian's acquisition of a new bike for him by getting used to
it at the Castle Caereinion meeting and riding it to success at Cleobory, consistent top 5
earning the overall third place trophy in the Inter Juniors.
He also has a super second race in the muddy meeting at Anchor Hill near Kerry on Sunday.
Being one of the hardy bunch braving the difficult conditions he lapped everyone else on
the increasingly liquified hillside circuit for a hard earned win but missed an overall
award by a point.
