Bury's Harry Radford raced unbeaten in the u-10s match, with A&T's Joe Quarmby losing only to Radford in heat 5, whilst A&T's John White lost only to Quarmby in heat 16. Jack Littler weighed in with a typically determined performance, whilst Charlie Burgess picked himself up after two falls. The u-13s match saw Stockport's Michael Preston again race unbeaten, with A&T's Max Evans losing only to Preston in heat 4. A&T's Ciaran Collins was in excellent form all night and he top scored in the u-16s match, whilst A&T's Reece Pollitt top scored in the u-19s match. Stockport's Jake Read was excluded in heat 3.
