More schools than ever are competing in the Haringey Schools Cycling League after Belmont Primary joined earlier this month.

Belmont finished a close second in the Girls 24″ race.

Six schools took part in an afternoon of grass track racing at Chestnuts park, in the penultimate event of the 2013-14 League calendar.

Last year’s champions North Harringay finished one point behind Risley, whose lead in the overall competition looks unassailable.

A strong performance by Chestnuts saw them finishing third in the afternoon’s racing. Newcomers Belmont had a promising debut, taking fourth place, just ahead of Coleridge.

Risley now dominates the standings with 251 points, ahead of NHP at 217 and St. Aidan’s at 166.5.
