In the Male 13yrs A final Owen Putland was third and Joseph Carey fourth while Freddie Boulton managed fifth place in the Male 7yrs A final in only his second regional meeting.

George Fox (Male 8yrs) also made the A final but a mistake off the gate left him at the back with too much to do.

Luca Smith (Male 9yrs) enjoyed his best ever day of racing with fourth places all round - three in his heats and one in the A final.
