Wisbech Inline Speed Skating Club kick off season at Derby Rollerworld

Wisbech Inline Speed Skating Club travelled to Derby Rollerworld at the weekend for an exciting first race of their 2022 season.

In category one, Mike McInerney finished in second place overall - with Arthur Buckler in fourth and Lucy McInerney in eighth.

The club had a good field in category two, with Taylor Barker in second place overall. Taylor had a crash in one of his races but was able to pick himself up, and with an impressive turn of speed put himself back in contention to come home in second.

Warren Eve ended the day in fourth place on his return to racing with some promising performances and should have a good season ahead. Luke Frary and Karl Bates finished in fifth and sixth place respectively.

In category three, Kirby Barker ended his day in fourth place just off the podium. A slip in his sprint race cost him dearly, but he was able to finish his long distance event in first position - clearly showing good stamina for future races.

Finally, the club's best placing of the day was in category four where Leah Barker dominated her races and finished in first place overall to top the podium.

The club have had a steady start to the season and will be back for their next race at home at Skaters Roller Rink Walpole Highway on March 5. Racing will be from 10am until 1pm and spectators are welcome to come and join us to show support.
