Once again the legendary Long Buckby National track was the venue for the final round of the South Midland Centre Championships. The track always provides a tough challenging to the riders with its hills, banks, jumps and hard pack surface. This time however things were a little easier, the previous week's heavy rain had softened the ground and the normal freezing wind had disappeared. Instead the circuit enjoyed clear blue skies and near perfect conditions, a fitting end to a long but enjoyable season that began at the same venue in April.

In the Experts class Michael McClurg  dominated. Taking straight wins in all three motos he never looked like being beaten. Behind him however all the rest had their share of misfortunes at one time or another, with no clear pattern emerging until the results were in. In the end Dale Raynor took second overall from James Barnwell and Paul Edge, while newly crowned SMC Expert champion Ryan Griffiths had to make do with 5th after crashing out of the final encounter.

Craig Bryder took overall victory in the Junior A's with a second and a first, closely followed by Joshua Blunt and consistent Adam Collins. Jordan Wills had to settle for fourth overall despite winning the opening leg, after a crash second time out kept him off the podium. In the Junior B finals David Bain secured the win with first and third places. Harry Burden narrowly missed out with a pair of seconds, from Ashley Kiely in third.

In the Over 40 class Tony Leishman was once again the man to chase.  Tony won the first two races from Fraser Law, though the results were reversed in the final encounter of the season. Kevin Turnbull put in three consistent top four finishes for third overall. Andrew Brightman once again dominated the Over 50 category with three clear wins. Behind him a close fought battle raged all day between Martyn Raynor, Roger Knibbs and Pete Chapman. After swapping postions every race, they eventually finished in that order.

No mistakes for Ryan Griffiths in the Under 40 class, with three wins giving him a clear overall victory. Martin Streeton just edged out Matt Willis for second. The 125 class which ran concurrently with the Under 40's, Matt Willis secured the over all win from Dan Holmes and Andrew Lowe.

The final Championship positions will be published later once the results have been verified.
