First off was Ariana giving one hundred percent to gain an impressive third place finish in the P1-3 girls category. Jamie was next to go in the P4&5 group and he put in a fantastic effort to seal second place representing a satisfying improvement over last months result at Kirroughtree.

Ewan Clark was first off bearing the yellow number board of the Junior series leader. Ewan got away to a good start and held the lead for the first two laps to eventually finish in second place.
