NORTHWICH motorcycle ace Tim Poole enjoyed a successful Stars of Darley meeting in Derbyshire at the weekend.

Poole, of Percy Street, rode Niall Mackenzie's 1998 British Superbike Yamaha YZF750 in two races, finishing second in both.

He also rode in two 600cc events, in which he was a clear winner on both occasions.

"Niall's bike was brilliant - really fast," Poole said. "I was only beaten by a 500cc Grand Prix bike, and I won both the 600cc races by a mile, so I really enjoyed it."
