2023-24 League: Round 9 – Risley win, North Harringay come second

Our last round of the season – at Downhills Park – saw Risley come first again with North Harringay in second place, just beating Seven Sisters.

The Vortex – our most complex course, with plenty of twists and tight turns – witnessed some wonderful displays of skill and determination.

Risley won three of the finals, Seven Sisters two and North Harringay one.

For the leaderboard, across the season, looking at the total of the best 5 results for each team, congratulations to Risley for coming top, North Harringay second, Seven Sisters third and Holy Trinity fourth!

Massive thanks to all the staff and riders and volunteers for taking the time to attend the races this season!

And a special mention to North Harringay and St Mary’s who both attended every round – and very big thanks to the North Harringay team for regularly helping ferry bikes.
