This in fact was the first main league event at the track in June. Luckily heavy showers from earlier in the day disappeared and racing was run off under clear blue warm skies. In the A Class endurance events league leader Ryan Whatmough ( Shepherd Cycles) won the opening 10 lap scratch and it looked like he was set to dominate the events. However the wins were then spread around as Alex Simmons ( Swinnerton Cycles) attacked at half way in the 12 lap points race to take a fine win. The 10 mile scratch was won by Paul Whatmough ( Shepherd Cycles) in a very tight finish with last years overall winner Robert Lambton ( Brooks Cycles) who is now back from University for the summer.

The A Class sprint events were depleted by the Masters being away at the National Championships however Sean Mayer ( Swinnerton Cycles) consolidated his lead by winning the sprint final in 11.7 seconds and the Keirin final. The B Class events saw the biggest field of the night with 14 riders competing. The events were dominated by Bernard Swinnerton ( Lyme RC) who won every event in the 8 lap scratch, Devil, points and 10 mile to establish himself as the favourite for this league this year.

The youth events were keenly contested with Sallie Birchall ( Lyme RC) extending her already big lead in the overall competition to win the 200m TT, Devil and Handicap Scratch. Liam Zwetschnikow ( Lyme RC) was the next top scorer as he came second in the devil and the scratch.

The Freewheelers Events were well supported with 26 riders present at this Go ride registered event. After a 15 race programme the top points scorers were in each group as follows;

Group 1 James Brayford Lyme RC 7 points

Brandon McMillan Lyme RC 7 points

Group 2 Thomas Hughes 9 points

Group 3 Christian Bartram Lyme RC 9 points
