It was a tough meeting on Sunday for me and the team. I had a fall in my first race, scored 3+2 in my next two and then fell again in my last race. Pleased to report I escaped without any injury. The team were 18 points up after ten heats but Stoke then used two tacticals to pull back ten points in two heats and we ended up only eight points ahead.

We will all have to dig deep when we go to their place on October 22nd for the second leg but before that we are up there on Saturday 1st October in the first leg of the playoff semi finals.
