Group 1 Zac Edwards , Lyme RC 10 Points

The main league started with the 500m Handicap League. The winner was multi World Masters Track Champion Steve Cronshaw ( Brooks Cycles ) with Dan Cooper ( Lichfield CCC ) second and Chris Heaton ( Sportcity Velo ) third. In the other Sprinters League events there was a win for Phil Houlton ( Brooks Cycles) Barney Swinnerton (SwinnertonCycles ) and Sean Mayer ( Swinnerton cycles ) in the Team Sprint and Sean Mayer ( Swinnerton Cycles ) won the individual Sprint Final from Joel Partington (Sportcity Velo )
In the A Class Endurance events Matt Walls ( Velocity Global bikes ) won all the events in the the 10 lap scratch, devil, course de primes and the 10 mile. The B Class races saw a large field compete with the points going to a large number of riders. The 10 lap scratch was taken by Alex Coates ( Lyme RC) and later he won the devil. Emile Alexander (Lichfield CCC ) wo the course de primes and the 10 mile .
