Jason Young took a step closer to securing a hat-trick of British Championships with another convincing performance in the fourth round of jetski races.
The defending SKI GP champion, from Ibstock, continued his rich vein of form with two first-place finishes and one runner-up spot at Crosby Marina, near Liverpool.
The 23-year-old made a blistering start, winning his first two races in style, finishing nearly half a lap clear of his nearest rival.
He missed out on the clean sweep of victories, finishing second to former champion Simon Gill, but his performance on Merseyside has built his lead at the top to 20 points with just two rounds left.
With the penultimate round of races being held at Young's home lake and training base at Rother Valley Country Park, near Sheffield, he will be confident of taking a further step closer to his third title in a row.
