Tonight saw the running of the first Brian Cole 2000 m handicap. A large field of enthusiastic runners set off in turn with the hope of a catching the front markers, but with a eye over the shoulder for back markers Michael Low, Isaac Hockey and Jackson Hamill - Beach. Rhys Hamill-Beach grabbed the lead for most of the journey, but was caught in the final lap by a fast finishing Jmara Hockley-Samon and Jeremy Dean who raced shoulder to shoulder over the finish lap, with Hockley Samon drawing clear in the final straight, from Dean and a fast finishing Ron Thomas. To cap off an excellent night, Peter Lamb set a new venue record in the 100 m
