Richard Dunnett, of the promoting Diss & District club, at first held onto second place, but was overhauled by Greg Simcock (XRT/Elmy Cycles) before Matt Seaton (Mosquito Bikes), a visitor from the London League, slipped past Simcock on the last lap.

Raven's team-mate Josh Hannan won the youth race and David Fraser won the veterans' section with 1:14 in hand over Paul Moss (Stowmarket & District). Moss, in turn, just held off women's winner Nikki Juniper (PCA/Ciclos Uno) by just one second.

In the youngsters' race, on a mainly grass circuit, Sophie Holmes overhauled Pierce Bacon to take the honours for the Diss club.
