The riders undertook heats in the form of a scratch race with the top two going through to the finals.

This meant four heats each for the boys and girls in each year group with the finals would mean a total of 20 races to get through in two hours.
Riders had to pay attention to which heat they were in ages themselves up and ready in advance.
As usual with grass track there were a few who forgot to pedal and came down - luckily no injuries sustained and in general the riding on display was very good.
Although only the top two riders progressed to the finals all riders in the heats scored points for their team so all positions were worth fighting for.
With the heats done and the riders positions settled it was time for first final - the year 5 girls. The finals took on different format - the elimination race.
