In the Senior B 10 lap race, Jai Sutton put in a gutsy effort with two laps to go coming from the back of the field with his brother Pierce Sutton and Melissa Drogemuller trying to stay with him.  J Sutton crossed the line in first position with P Sutton second, M Drogemuller third and Emma Mardon fourth.

Junior A's eight lap scratch saw Charlotte Wakeling leading Sam Campbell and Dylan Fewster on the bell.  D Fewster was able to overtake her to finish the race in first position.  C Wakeling came in second, followed by S Campbell, Liza Wakeling and Jessica Shore.

A two lap handicap race for the vets saw N Patterson cross the finish in first place with A Wilson, Gary Carpenter, P Werner, N Hellowell and Kelvin Rohrlach finishing in that order.

A 24 lap points race was hotly contested by the Senior A graders.  Every six laps a whistle is blown to indicate a sprint lap.  The first four riders across the line earn points, at the end of the race the points are tallied and the winner announced.  T Fulton won this event by a good margin.  Second was R Carpenter, third D Anderson, N Goldring in fourth, followed by Dan Anderson.

The vets, Junior A and Junior B all took part in their respective grades in elimination races.  With K Rohrlach taking out the vets, J Sutton the Junior A's and D Fewster the junior B's.
