Rain again at cycling

“It only rains two nights a , week in Hornby—Wednesdays and Sundays,” bemoaned the commentator at Denton Parktrack o'cling. Mai Payne, last week. Payne had just seen the meeting rained off for the fourth time in six scheduled meetings. Once again, the feature of the amateurs’ racing was the spread of successes, Jacob : Shriek. Kim Reid and Frank ' Sehaapveld each winning once and Garry Sword taking second each time Perhaps two of the . best perj formanees were again from i novices, however. Garry Monk I was too strong in the points race and Shane Smith con‘tinned his recent impressive form with victory in the "Aces” 1400 m. Results:— AMATEUR Scratch.—2ooom: J Schrlek 1, G P Sword 2, R.
