Randwick Botany Cycling Club Annual Junior Carnival
Heffron Park, August 3, 2002
RBCC Junior carnival brings riders in from all over
By Tony Horneman
Over 100 junior riders from as far away as Dubbo, Mudgee and Canberra competed in the Randwick Botany Cycling Club Annual Junior Carnival at Heffron Park on Saturday.
 |
Randwick Botany juniors were well represented and took part in a program of 16 events in excellent riding conditions around the tight Heffron Park circuit. Randwick City Council cleaned and prepared the 2 km track prior to the event.
The premier U17 Keith Harris Memorial Elimination Trophy Elimination Race provided some exciting racing in the all-in event. All riders started together and the last 3 riders at the end of each lap were eliminated from the race. The surviving riders in finishing order were Phillip Stokes from Penrith Panthers, Tyler McLachlan from Southern Cross and Luke Picton also from Southern Cross, Dean Windsor from Bathurst and Joe Neeman from Canberra.

In the U17 A Grade Scratch race over 16km, Randwick Botany's Robert Cater broke away from the 12-rider bunch on lap 2 and rode solo for most of the race. Phillip Stokes bridged the gap and the pair stayed together to fight out the final sprint. Cater led out with 300m to go but Stokes proved too strong and crossed the line first just ahead of Cater. Tyler McLachlan took third place in the bunch sprint. He was followed home by Luke Picton from St George and Stephan Weiland from Southern Highlands cycling club.
Dale Scarf from Central Coast blasted out of the blocks at the start of the U15 B Grade Scratch race and didn't look back for 8km. Scarf rode solo for the entire race and finished first ahead of Kiernan Smithson (Lidcombe Auburn), David Bermejo (Bankstown), Tyron Bicknall (Randwick Botany) and Andrew Young (Randwick Botany).

Angela Jones from the Bicisport club demonstrated excellent fitness to chase and catch the bunch following a front wheel puncture and wheel change in the closing stages of the U15 Women Scratch race over 14km. After making up 500m during the second last lap, Jones recovered to win the bunch sprint to the line. Second home was Alyse Ransom (St George) followed by Ingrid Paterson (Canberra), Charlotte Cotes (Randwick Botany) and Melinda Potente (St George).
A special award was presented in the U13 Points Score race which was won by Luke Davison (Southern Cross) with Matthew Guillan (Southern Cross) second and Benjamin Harvey (Bankstown) third. The Matthew Bosch Memorial Prize was presented to Melinda Potente from the St George club for being the most gutsy rider in the race. The award is in memory of Matthew Bosch who died in 1995, aged 11 years, of cancer. Matthew could only ride a fixed gear bike with training wheels because of an intellectual disability, but he showed great love and determination for his riding. The award is sponsored by Matthew's mother Tanya Bosch.
