Heat 1

With a good start moving into 2nd by the 1st corner Rhys followed Ben Lord, taking the lead halfway round the first lap and holding the lead across the line for the first time. Rhys and Ben Lord continued to exchange places throughout this very tight race until a red flag incident saw the race come to a halt. A brief restart saw Rhys and Ben again fighting for the lead until a second red flag again put a stop to the racing. The final result was given to Ben Lord with Rhys securing second place in this first heat.

Heat 2

Rhys Stephen starting in 2nd place on board the AMR Moto 140r got off to a good start taking the lead into the first corner. With Ben Lord fighting hard, the two riders were again engaged in a race long battle for the race win. With Rhys briefly dropping to 4th and again to 3rd with W Lathrope joining the battle he quickly resumed the battle with Ben for the win. Crossing the line as they caught a back marker, Rhys took the win by 3/10ths second.

Final

Rhys Stephenson on board the AMR Moto 140r starting in pole had a bit of a scrappy start where he slotted into second for the first corner with Ben Lord taking the lead. A good move during the first lap saw Rhys take the lead and again Rhys and Ben were locked in a race long battle for the duration of the race. D Pearson briefly joined the battle as did W Lathrope and J Lovell but it was Rhys and Ben who held onto the first two places. With a last push for the line, Rhys Stephenson took the win by 1/10ths second from Ben Lord.
