Motorcycling Australia has announced that the the 2013 Australian Women’s Motocross Championship has been cancelled.

Due to lack of entries and despite the efforts of the Lake Macquarie Motorcycle Club, the championship won’t be staged this year.

The event was scheduled to take place on 27 October at Awaba in New South Wales.

Motorcycling Australia’s sport and event coordinator Matt Kearsley said he was extremely disappointed the event failed to launch this year.

“We have some amazing women’s motocross talent in this country and this event is their showcase,” said Kearsley.

“We know the women who entered the event are disheartened and our thoughts go out to those who have made travel arrangements in anticipation of the event.”

MA in 2014 will look at alternative ways in which the event can run with higher competitors numbers and look at positioning the event as one not to miss on the Australian motorcycle sport calendar
