William Lawson represented Monarchs in the PLRC at Sheffield after Theo Pijper had to stay in France.

Theo was involved in the rerun of the European Grasstrack Championship at La Reole, rained off the previous day, and William answered the call at a few hours notice.

Although he had so little time to prepare and had an unsuitable engine, William was far from disgraced in scoring two points.

In his second and third heats he was right in the thick of the action, leading heat 11 for a bit before being passed by Havelock and Lemon.

It was a well-presented event with experienced riders taking the main honours ? the final finished Zetterstrom, Lyons, Havelock, Topinka.
