AMATEUR ALL-WEATHER TITLE RETAINED BY CHAMPION SIMON WALKER WITH ONE RACE OF THE SEASON REMAINING
27-02-2009
Reigning champion amateur Simon Walker has safely retained his All-Weather Championship title for 2008/9 with four winning rides this season (20 points) as well as 3 seconds (6 points) and with only one race of the season remaining, to be held at Wolverhampton on Monday next, 2nd March, he leads the table on 26 points, 16 ahead of his nearest rivals.
Very many congratulations to Simon, who has an incredible record on the dirt. He was Champion Runner-Up in 2004/5 (to Scott Dobson) and 2006/7 (to Simon Pearce) and has claimed this Championship no less than three times: in 2005/6, again in 2007/8 and now for the third time in 2008/9.
The battle is on for the runner-up slot with Michelle Bryant, Oliver Greenall and Patrick Millman all on 10 points each (2 wins each) and Ben Morris on 9 points. Ben Brisbourne and Joshua Moore are on 8 points and Marie King on 6 points. All will be decided in our last amateur race of this season on the All-Weather on Monday!
