East Kent Meeting Report ORMS Southern Semi Final Staplehurst 08/06/2014 It was a glorious day and was shaping up to be a hot one, not just with the racing as East Kent welcomed both East Anglia & Poole & Parkstone to Staplehurst for the ORMS Southern Semi Final. The first group out were the AMX riders & these guys showed the heat wasn’t going to affect them as they steamed out of the gate & into the first corner. Arron Jenner won the first moto after chasing Adam Cooper for most of the race Adam took second and John Eaton third. A crash in the second left Jenner having to go to hospital (from all at EK we wish you a speedy recover Arron) but Adam Cooper was on form & was flying around the track to take first place in both moto 2 & 3. John Eaton chased him down to take the second spot in race 2 with Sean Bardwell claiming the third spot, but a crash in the third left John chasing the pack & Sean & Dan Guy both used this to their advantage with Sean taking second & Dan third in Race 3. Adam took the overall, John the runner up & Dan Guy third place. Next up were the Clubman group, this is a new group to EK & the riders were out to show us how good this group can be… Ray Chivers flew out of the gate in all three motos with Rob Spill on his tail, George Prince chased them both down to take third in race 1 & 2, but couldn’t quite make it past Keith Fraher who took third in the final race. The overall went to Ray, Rob second & third to George. The Open group are always good to watch & today was no exception! Lewis Dowsett had the throttle pinned with Tony Cuddy right behind him in motos 1 & 2, but Tony hit the gas in moto 3 to lead from the front throughout the race to take the win. Piers Skinner rode consistently well throughout the day taking all three third place finishes. Lewis took the overall with Tony second & Piers a very respectable third place. A mention should also go to George Baldwin who kept everyone entertained throughout the day on his Enduro bike, blasting (if that’s the word) his hooter & doing wheelies as he went through the finish line each lap. Thank you for reminding everyone that mx is fun too! The Seniors are always more than ready to get out there & have fun Tommie Schofield took the win in the first with Jack Norman & Joe Russell not far behind him to finish 2nd & 3rd. In race 2 Connor Dennis took the win with Jack & Joe having to settle for second & third again. In race 3 Tommie took the win with Jack Norman second & Brad Robinson stepped up to claim the third place finish. The overall went to Jack, with Tommie in second & Joe the third podium step. Tom Lockhart showed why he is leading the EK championship by storming out of the gate in each race with Charlie Caudwell following closely behind. Tom flew around the track to claim all three wins & Charlie all three second place finishes. In races 1 & 3 Gary Ashley took the third place but was beaten to it in race 2 by Freddie McPherson. The overall & runner up spot went to Tom & Charlie respectively & Freddie took the third spot. The Small Wheel riders were champing at the bit to get on with it & Drew Anderson raced ahead in all three to claim all three wins. Kayden Algar was racing hard trying to catch him in all three races, but had to settle for second place in both motos 1 & 3 and 3rd in moto 3. Ashley Surridge took the second spot in moto 2 and 3rd in moto 1, but Adam Caroleo took the third in the last race. The overall went to Drew Kayden second & Ashley the third place We were now down to our two youngest groups (with the biggest hearts), Bobby Bruce has made a remarkable recovery to come back from another broken bone & showed he wanted to win by leading all three races from start to finish, Raife Broadley showed he was also on a mission by taking all 3 second place finishes. Alfie Card took the third place in race 1 but couldn’t repeat that finish throughout the day. Beau Gosnell claimed third in the second & Harrison Borg the third in moto 3. The overall went to Bobby, Raife second & Harrison the third. Finally, it was the turn of the Autos, Billy Moriarty showed he was the one to try to beat, but these guys just couldn’t catch him in any of the motos! Taylor Newman, Josh Bassett, Sonny May & Harrison Bowles were all trying to get the most out of their little bikes but it was Taylor who took second in moto1, Josh 2nd in moto 2 & Sonny 2nd in moto 3. Josh took third in moto 1, Sonny 3rd in moto 2 & Harrison 3rd in moto 3.At the end of the day Billy took the overall with Sonny the second step & Josh third. Well done guys! EK would like to thank both East Anglia & Poole & Parkstone for making the trip to Staplehurst & to all the riders, you should all be very proud of yourselves for racing week in week out & for making it a great meeting.
