The Caesarean Cycling Club held a grass track meeting at the FB fields Thursday evening and some very good and closely contested riding was witnessed by the few keen spectators.

The first event was the 5 mile championship for the J.C.C Trophy: nine riders competed and from the start a very fast pace was set. J Tanswell Took the lead in the first lap, then W. Rowe Took over and this set the pattern throughout the event, the lead changing hands almost every lap with D.Ecobichon, D.Lidster and Rowe contesting the final lap, Ecobichon was first past the line closely followed by Lidster and Rowe.
