2009 EVENT REPORT & RESULTS ONLINE....

Cheshire Ghost Riders BMX Club hosted the Bob Field Memorial Grands BMX event over the weekend of 1st/2nd August.

With the site looking professional and the Tipkinder track in perfect condition over 160 entrants took part in a weekend of BMX action.

Saturday included the renaming of the track to the The Shanaze Reade BMX Track followed by novice racing for the less experienced riders. The evening entertainment showcased a spectacular £100 high jump contest which ran to a sudden death 11.5” jump off won by local rider Ash Davey. The Club's new World Champion, Marco Dell'Isola was also in attendance throughout the weekend.

The day that everyone had come for however was the Sunday, in memory of Bob Field, the driving force behind the Cheshire Ghost Riders. The Experts came to the start gate with categories from 6 & Under to Elite, the day eventually ending with the main event “The Bob Field Memorial Trophy”.

There were wins for quite a few of the Ghost Riders in the following Expert categories:
12 & Under Cruiser – Chris Worrall
13-15 Cruiser – Ashley Worrall
7-8 Male – Mason Chidley
16+ Cruiser – Ash Davey
Mountainbike – Kieron McAvoy
13-14 Male – Shane Dean
17+ Male – Kent Bridgett
High Jump – Ash Davey

The main event saw 28 riders including host of pros line up for a knockout finale. In the mix were Olympian Liam Phillips and ex 5 times world champion Dylan Clayton. With £500 prize money at stake it promised to be a thriller. An action packed final saw the same positions as in Elite Payback with Marcus Bloomfield from Bristol (Ultimate BMX) taking the win followed across the line by Liam Phillips (Burnham/Ultimate BMX) with Calum Strickland (Mid Lancs) in third.

The trophies were presented by Bob's son, Shaun, and the Mayor of Crewe. All proceeds from the main event will be donated to the McMillan Nurses at the request of Bob’s family.

The Club would like to thank everyone who helped to organise the event, especially the many volunteers from outside of the Club .
