Update 4th February

The draw for the HUNTING HIRE INDOOR CHAMPIONSHIPS has been done and a mouth watering draw for the team event it is. With current champions Wednesfield pitched in with Leicester who have some indoor specialists, Kesgrave A who only missed out of a rostrum place in last years final by one point and a Great Blakenham A team confident of glory. Hawbush B filling the line up for the qualifier B. In the A qualifier it does look a little easier but nobody can be taken for granted. East London last years runners up Hawbush A and Somersham look favourite to qualify for the semi's but Kesgrave B and Great Blakenham B will be looking to take some Big scalps along the way. Also listed below are the draws for the under 13's and under 16's individual with some top quality youngsters on show this promises to be a competition not to miss.Racing starts at 10 am book the date Saturday 10th February 2001
