The E/1/2 race was sixty minutes and five laps on a warm and dry day at the outdoor track in Portsmouth and once the race settled down, there were several attacks by different riders and different teams but none of these attacks managed to stick.

Lap after lap, the attacks went off the front but within a couple of laps it was all brought back. With the sixty minutes up, Toby came to the front and slipped away as the four lap marker was shown. The bunch seemed to wait for something to happen, but all that happened was Toby got further away.

The third cat race was won by Matt Hargroves (Hargroves Cycles) who out sprinted Steve Moss (Bournemouth Arrow). The race saw many different riders having a go from the front but to no avail. With the race reaching its climax, Matt Woods (Hargroves Cycles) attacked and soon opened up a good lead but the young rider had gone a little too early and the bunch pulled him back with a couple of laps to go.

With the bunch now all together, it came down to a sprint finish which the Hargroves rider from Southampton was the stronger in the dash to the line.

The race for the fourth cats was a procession for all of the thirty minutes, which was only marred by two different crashes in the closing stages. Neither of the crashes had any influence on the result and the race was won by George Stainton Ellis (i-team CC). In the women’s race, Ellie Gilham (VC St Raphael) continued her early season form winning from Nikki Wheeler (Team Wiggle) with Fran Blake (Southdown Velo) taking third.

The early morning started with races for the under 16’s in their own different races.
