Other A finalists were George Fox (6th in the Male 8yrs), Daniel Arnett (3rd in the Male 15yrs), Maciej Stodolak (7th in the Male 15 yrs), Rick Ellis (4th in the 17+ Cruiser) and Jacob Elkin (7th in the 17+ Cruiser).

Completing an outstanding set of club results, Josh Henson was second in the Male 10yrs C final and Jazz Newton and Alfie Clarke made the C final in the Male 12yrs.
In the overall series placings there were wins for Slack (Masters) and Stodolak (15yrs) and runners-up places for Fox (8yrs), Henson (10yrs) and Ellis (17+ Cruiser).
Round one of the East Summer series is on March 3. Anyone interested in BMX racing should contact the peterborough bmx club via the website or social media. Northants A have given themselves a fighting chance of reaching the final of the English Bowling Federation’s Derbyshire Trophy.
They defeated previously unbeaten Norfolk 105-70 (122) to follow up the previous week’s 11-3 defeat of defending champions Lincs.
It means that Lincs will require ten of the 14 points available from their final match at home to Norfolk this weekend to deny Northants their first appearance in the final since 2006.
