It was Briggs second win in the series after winning at Colne and came after an agressive race on this new circuit but like the Circuit of the Fens last weekend, breaks were never getting much of a gap and the race was settled in a bunch kick. The main drama of the race was the crash for Alex Blain of Raleigh, the series leader, who had to pick himself up quickly and fight to get back into the race which he did.
