Reigning champion Jack Layton extended his lead at the top of the table after two solid results.

In the opening race, he fought back from a first lap excursion to finish fifth. The win went to James O’Reilly who took the lead at the start and was never headed. Dan Clark tried to close the gap but was still 2.5 seconds behind at the flag.

In the second race O’Reilly led the first four laps and looked to be heading for a double win. But a broken exhaust dropped him back to fourth place at the flag. Andy Bird took over at the front and scored his maiden MSA Championship victory. Paul Platt was lying in third place, however a broken chain tensioner dropped him back and Gavin Bennett came through for second place just ahead of Layton.
