Risley came first again in Round 8. Seven Sisters with their best performance of the season, pipped North Harringay into second place. Thankfully the council had mown the grass on Ducketts Common just in time and we had another dry day for exciting racing on the Diabolo – our most complex course, with plenty of twists and tight turns.

Looking at the total of the best 5 results for each team, Risley currently lead, North Harringay are second and Holy Trinity third. 

North Harringay and RIsley each won three of the finals, while Seven Sisters won two and St Mary’s won one.

North Harringay swept into top spot in the league at the end of Round 5 – a fast and furious indoor roller racing event day at St Mary’s – kindly hosting us again in their main hall.

Five schools competed – with raucous support from everyone present.

North Harringay recorded the two fastest times of the day: 29.61 seconds in the Year 5 Boys and 30.39 in the Year 6 Boys.

In the girls events, Stroud Green had the fastest time in Year 6 with 31.86 seconds and St Mary’s won Year 5 with 32.82.

In Year 4, Holy Trinity had the fastest time in the girls races and Belmont in the boys.

It was neck and neck for second place with only a point or two separating three of the teams, but Holy Trinity just pipped Stroud Green and Belmont.

It was great to see several Year 4 riders taking part again.

Risley built on their lead over North Harringay to top the league again at the end of Round 4, after another great day’s racing on grass in frosty sunny weather on Ducketts Common – Round 3 having been frustratingly washed out.

After a series of very cold days, the ground was frozen hard first thing, but conditions were good once the sun rose higher and the leaves and sticks were swept from the track. 

Six schools battled it out on a C-shaped course with a couple of technical turns for the second day’s racing of the season. The fantastic vocal support and encouragement of all the team members, staff and families really boosted the riders.

As the season progresses, the course will feature more technically challenging turns – leading up to the introduction of the ‘vortex’ to really challenge the riders.

Each school won at least one of the finals, with Stroud Green and Seven Sisters both winning two.

It was great to see several Year 4 riders taking part again – hopefully ensuring a steady flow of keen riders next season.

Risley just pipped North Harringay to the top of the league at the end of Round 2 after a great day’s racing on grass in perfect sunny autumn weather on Ducketts Common – Round 1 having been frustratingly washed out.

Despite having threatened to rain the day before the race, the storm skirted south of London, so the ground was in good condition – once we had cleared the leaves and sticks from the track, with the kind assistance of members of Haringey’s parks team. 

Five schools battled it out on an oval course with just a few gentle switchback turns for the first day’s racing of the season. As ever, the vocal support and encouragement of all the team members, staff and families really spurred on the riders.

As the season progresses, the course will feature more technical turns – leading up to the introduction of the ‘vortex’ to really challenge the riders.

North Harringay won both the boys A-finals and collected three finals wins, while Risley and Seven Sisters won two finals each, with Seven Sisters coming third overall.

It was great to see several Year 4 riders taking part which will hopefully ensure a steady flow of keen riders next season – Risley in particular benefitted from the bonus points for fielding some younger members.

As three schools were unable to make it on the day, there was some extra time after the Finals to have a series of exciting relay races where each school was able to field all their riders in a friendly head-to-head with one other school.

Round 3 will be on Friday 8th December.
