In Category Three, Kirby Barker dominated again - with a swarm of Essex club skaters chasing him around the short track. Kirby won all his distances to take first overall.

Category Four saw Leah Barker finishing fifth overall, with her best placed finish being third in the long distance race.

Danni Stafford Allen has being moved up to Category Five after dominating the last race meeting in Colchester in Category Six.

Danni improved throughout the day, finishing her races in sixth, fifth and then fourth in the long distance race to take fifth place overall.

Wisbech had a new racer in Category Six making his debut. Alex Gray finished third in all the distances, making him third overall for the day.

Wisbech hosted a novice race with three new young club prospects racing. Oscar Clarkson, Holly Gray and Kallie Stafford Allen all competed well and enjoyed the day.

As usual, the Wisbech club had a couple of fun races where everyone had to compete in a quad skate race in the opposite direction.

The 12-and-under race was won by Kirby Barker, closely followed by his sister Leah Barker. In the 13-and-overs the winner was Warren Eve, with Taylor Barker and Arthur Buckler second and third respectively.

Lucy McInerney also arranged a mixed inter-club relay. This consisted of teams of two with one male and one female on each.

The race worked well and helped to mix the skaters up with team members from different clubs competing together - which proved to be very competitive.
