There were three different winners in the SeniorB events – the top three places in the Devil being taken by promoted Youth A riders.
In the well supported youth categories – Mitch Powell was in good form scoring three victories to one by Wheelers Glen Dossett. Michael Parry rode well to pick up a number of minor places
In the Youth B section Simon Bird led the way from last weeks winner Wheelers Ethan Vernon
The CC Ashwell girls – Sophie Lewis and Harley Bell dominated two of the handicap events in the Youth CDE section. Sam Gage was the comfortable winner of the 3 laps scratch race and Rudy Knight notched up his first win in the second handicap event
