Last Thursday Longfield Academy was the venue for the Melton Meteors Go-Race Cross on a beautiful Autumn evening.

Twenty-five enthusiastic youngsters signed up for this off-road challenge.

Conditions were made more difficult as the evening wore on and the grass became damp and slick on the corners.

The riders all had three races, six laps for under 12s, four laps for under 10s and a one-lap sprint challenge and a relay race.

Results: U10 boys - 1 Toby Allison, 2 Jack-Stanley Winder, 3 Zak Roberts; U10 girls - 1 Caitlin McCahon, 2 Beatrix Clemans, 3 Scarlett Kerr; 10 and over boys - 1 Ivan Underwood, 2 Jamie London, 3 Dylan Silk; 10 and over girls - 1 Eleanor Taylor, 2 Lucy Swain, 3 Claudia Clemans.
