Craig enjoys race action at Olympic venue

BALLYMENA cyclist Craig Crawford this week returned from a hectic weekend of racing in England.

The Dunclug College pupil helped the Ulster cycling team finish fourthth overall in the ‘Street Hill Racing’; 9th overall in the Crit Racing, 10th in the Team Time Trial at Redbridge Cycling Centre before they finished 10th in the team sprint at the Olympic Velodrome.

Craig said: “It was brillant being part of the Sainsbury’s UK School Games racing with the top riders.

“The Olympic Velodrome was unbelivable and it was great to be on it before the Olympians with at least 2,000 people watching you race was great.

“The three days of racing was intense riding and overall we did ourselves proud,” added Craig, who has thanked Sainsbury’s of Ballymena for their support.
