BRITISH FINAL

 
This was a close meeting, with just 2 points separating the top 5 places by the end, but was deservedly won by RICHIE SAMPSON, who the bookies had as pre-meeting favourite and who kept his head after a wobble before the interval to finish strongly and claim the British title.  Behind him on the rostrum were MARCUS JAY and DEXTER LAST.  Ray France was the only GP rider in the field and although he missed out on the rostrum places he showed his well known quality in reaching double figures.  His score was matched by Rhodri Szczygiel and he qualified safely to the GP Challenge Semi Final stage.  Other qualifiers were Robbie Cormack, Riley Payne and Jay Patterson who all finished on 8 points, impressive for Patterson who suffered an engine failure in one heat.  17-year old Payne was the only real surprise qualifier as the betting predicted him well down the order and he did well to hold off the challenge of more experienced riders such as Plant and Young in particular.
