British Under 18 Semi Final 1
 
Jay Patterson and Simon Kennett started this meeting very much amongst the title favourites and they both stamped their authority on the Semi Final by taking the first two places on the rostrum.  Tommy Barnes finished 3rd after making a good start and reached the final with no concerns.  It was close behind the leaders with Adam Austin and Lewis Holden both needing some good late scoring to progress.  Christopher Garner made a good start to the meeting and his 8 points at the interval meant he could afford to drop points in later rides and progress safely.  The other places in the final went to Mark Osborne and Jack Pusey who did enough to finish 6th and 8th respectively.
 
16 year-old Pusey was the surprise qualifier with the only real shock of the meeting the non-progression of Tyrone York who began the day fancied to challenge for the title overall, never mind just get through here.  He had a mixed start and then an engine failure in his 3rd race suggested definite bike problems, he ran a disappointing last next time out and a final heat win came too late to save him and he looked very dejected at the end.  Current Juvenile Jaunt leader George Fletcher put up a good show to total 7 points and finish in 9th place and he certainly does look a very good prospect for the future.

British Under 18 Semi Final 2
 
Pre-meeting favourite Riley Payne stormed to a 15-point maximum and a place in the British Under 18 final where he will be highly fancied to match this success.  Oliver Courtney was another rider expected to progress in style, which he did in 2nd place on 13 points.  The rostrum places were completed by Dan McDonald who kept out of trouble and qualified comfortably.  Other riders expected to reach the final who did it in some comfort were Dan Sheldrick and Luke Cook, both scoring double figures.  PL rider Shane Forbes had a fall in his first race and looked a little shaken but took the break to get himself right in the interval and fired off a couple of race wins to finish 7th with Jason Lomas ending in 8th, despite a fall in his final heat, having already done enough in his first 4 rides.
 
There were no huge shocks here although Logan Oliver went in with high hopes but scored just 2 at the interval stage and couldn't make up the lost ground.  Gavn Wallace started strongly and was in the running at the break but two exclusions ended his hopes of progress.
