Well First things first, if you hadn’t heard Well Done to Holly Baarspul for getting the Bronze in Junior Womens. This young Lady has been stepping it up all year in WA without much competition on the womens front and it is a true test of how good this young ripper is placing in the bronze medal position behind the two frenchys, let’s see plenty of support for this young lady going into next year. Well Done Holly.

Bad luck for the Junior Men with Hans Hadley going out in final practise with a broken collarbone, the worst news story from the junior men was Will Gower, a young rider from South Oz that spent a year in Wa, had a fall in last practise as well and the latest news has it that he has broken some vertabrae in back and done muscle damage to his spine as well, Will if your reading this, All the Best for your recovery mate.
