'The final race of the 2008/2009 season was held at Clanfield on Sunday 1st
March. The events have been well attended and compared to 2007 / 2008 the
weather well behaved. Throughout the season the Radley teams performed well
finishing second in three of the competitions. Whilst not hitting some of
the highs and winning age group trophy's as in previous seasons it was a
very solid club effort and perhaps the biggest achievement was that for the
first time we had a full mens team for the final event.
