Fast starting Gary Jeffers got the holeshot, with Paul Greaney and Martin Lennon in hot pursuit. By the end of the opening lap Alastair Kirk had demoted Lennon to fourth with champion Richie Ryan in fifth.
The running order of the top three stayed the same for the duration of the race, with Jeffers taking another win in the series.

Race two again saw young Jeffers get away to a lightning start this time it was Alastair Kirk giving chase. But the red flags came out to stop the race before the first lap was completed as champion Richie Ryan suffered a vicious highside at the final corner.
On the restart it was Jeffers again who got the better start with Kirk and Greaney giving chase. Approximately four laps in Alastair Kirk hit the front and coming on to the start finish straight Jeffers squeezed the power on a fraction too hard and the rear tyre lost traction, which then induced a tank slapper and both bike and rider were dumped hard in to the tarmac before sliding to a halt in the grass. The red flags again came out but the result was declared with the win going to Kirk.
