The final run for the year saw David Kavenagh run season best for the 400 m, hotly pursued by Peter lamb. Heat 2 produce a cracker of a finish with Jake Martin by a whisker from David Mitchell. Brett Coleman show how it was done the 3200 m leading all the way from Jackson Hamill-Beach and Jack Verstraten. And to build up an appetite of the BBQ we finished with a 200 m with Paul turner and Peter Lamb providing hot competition for David Kavenagh.

In the final event there was a clear winner in Joe Weiler who mastered the BBQ with flair and skill! Thanks.
