Several other Phantoms riders were in action, racing for the East Anglia region team, and Joseph Carey also looked set for a final placing.

He was competing in the Male 12yrs class and comfortably made it through to the semi-finals. But unluckily for him a crash ended his racing for the day.

Elsewhere, Beth Campbell rode in the female 17+ class and reached the semi-finals where she was eighth while George Fox and Liam Arnett reached the quarter-finals of the Male 7yrs and Male 9yrs respectively.

Bradley Goulding and Jazz Newton rode in the Male 10yrs and both made it through the motos in a field of 84 riders.
