Bryan Taylor making his first appearance at the Welwyn Track League this year showed the Group A riders the way home in the opening 10 lap scratch race and went on to win the competitive Points race from John McClelland and Series leader Lewis Atkins

Laura Trott outsprinted the large Group B field to take the 10 lap scratch event but Anthony Miller got his revenge in the Devil over Laura by half a wheel in a tight finish.

In the Block Handicap for A/B odd numbers the B riders really got their act together to ensure that the small group of A riders never managed to close down the handicap – John Paul led home the four B riders who had enlivened the race.

In the senior 10 mile the field negated all breakaway attempts until with 12 laps remaining a group of 5 riders attacked and slowly opened up a useful lead – Joel Stewart, Lewis Atkins and Dave Langlands were driving the break and the group  worked really hard to stay away with a bit of help from Alistair Slater while John Paul played a non active role until the finish where he moved into second spot behind winner Lewis Atkins. This resulted in a bit of discussion among the leaders on the principle of work sharing.   

The A and B youth groups were a bit depleted this week however the youth C riders were as keen as ever and produced some close finishes in their handicap events.

The 4 lap combined youth B/C handicap saw the three scratch riders work their way through the multitude of younger riders ahead of them to catch them in the home straight to bag the top three places with Alan Trolove taking the victory.
