YOUNG STARS IN U19 ACTION

Wednesday September 14, 2016
THREE of King's Lynn's Young Stars team members endured a tough night at the British Under-19 Final on Wednesday.

Nathan Greaves was well in contention in the early stages after winning his opening two rides. However an incident which saw him disqualified for dangerous riding in his third outing also saw him withdrawn from the meeting after aggravating a hand injury.

After getting stuck in traffic prior to the meeting, Ryan Kinsley was disqualified from his first ride after flipping his bike on a warm-up start and missing the two minute time allowance.

Kinsley scored four points from his next three rides before falling in his last.

Youngster Taylor Hampshire will have learnt plenty from the experience and did manage a creditable second place behind former British Youth Champion Luke Harris in his third outing.

The meeting was won by tripling-up star Max Clegg.

The Young Stars are hopeful Greaves will be fit to take his place in their line-up when they travel to Mildenhall on Sunday.
