Well the rain put most off last night, although by the time 7pm approached, the rain had all but gone, and the 5 brave riders on the night set off.
As the traffic lights are still there near Peover, the 2 lap course was used. Times in general were slower than most PBs, apart from the flying Jimmy Williams, who managed to slice 25 seconds off his PB and score maximum points for the night.
The lower attendance and the fast time of Jim has put him firmly at the top of the standing after round 3, with 68 points. Neil Drummond a close second overall, some 5 points behind with 63, whilst Colin Carthy has edged past the previous No. 1 of Matt Sayle with 50 points.
The competition is hotting up.
