The Final, Bonsall was the early leader from Steve Nash, Nash getting the better of their duel on the third lap. Selby got on terms by the seventh lap and went into the lead Bonsall following him through. Bonsall then came under pressure from Shinn, he denied him for five laps. Then Shinn’s greater experience saw him work away by and go after Selby but he couldn’t get near enough for a passing move, Bonsall taking his third, third of the day from McCraken, Michael Benstead and S Buckberry.
