A lively and well attended evenings racing with a highly competitive Senior 10 mile to finish off the programme.
Phil Lisher won the opening 10 lap A event catching the big hitters napping with an attacking move from before the 200m line. Tony Gibbs attacks in the Block Pursuit for Odds and Evens eventually broke up his team but went on alone to take the victory in record time.

Laura Trott outsprinted the large B group to take the 10 lap B scratch and was only narrowly beaten on the line by Ed Checkley in the Block Handicap and Brian Evans in the Group B Devil.

The final 10 mile with 60 plus riders on the track started at a good pace with the B group given their usual 300m start. Laura Trott picked up the first two £5 primes before the A group reeled in the leaders. Despite a number of promising attacks the field all came together with 8 laps to go and 35 riders were still together when the bell went to signify the final lap. In a tight finish Tony Gibb won by half a wheel for John McClelland with George Olive third.

The Youth A events were shared by Dan Snow and Edward Bird while Ryan Owens notched up two wins in Youth B. Honours were well distributed in the strong Youth C group with Joseph Fry taking the final B/C 4 lap handicap from Archie Wishart with Bethany Hayward who has spent he day at DHL Sprint School at Newport a close third.
