Some of the local riders competing in their 1st ever event were Tommy Lewis from Llanbister, winning the Fun bike 50cc Class. Harry Jones from Llanidloes finished 3rd in the 50cc class and James Jervis also of Llanidloes taking 3rd place in the Open Fun bike Class. Katie Little from Lampeter and Roxie Roberts were some of the girls having a go after watching their older brothers ride round 1!

Riders were set off in 2 groups with Rees Jones of Llanidloes setting the pace off the start on his KTM 65. The top 4 riders were consistent throughout the race with Rees Jones finishing 3rd on 15 laps, Sion Wright of Llanafan 2nd and newcomer to Rd 2 Jobi Caddick taking the win, both on 16 Laps.

Race 3 also saw 50 riders across the classes from 85cc to 150cc bikes. A slightly longer course again accommodated the number of riders with the same race time of 1hr 15m. The Big wheeled 85cc class was the biggest class of the day with 24 competitors lining up. Trystan Williams held his lead from Tom Wright who was hot on his heals throughout the race. Jack Probert and Tomos Kear had their own battle for 3rd place with Jack coming out on top.
