A whole host of visitors arrived to take on the local youngsters in the Ninja Karts King of Aghadowey, and it was Norwich based Jenson Fish who raced to victory in the opening heat over Shaun Boyle from Scotland and another English driver Murray Hall. Heat two saw Fish look odds on for another win until he clipped a spun kart on the final bend, handing the win to Jack Connor from Scotland ahead of Hall and Boyle.
The King of Aghadowey final was a controversial affair, with a number of disqualifications handed out for contact and a late race red flag adding to the drama. In the final analysis it was Hall who was crowned King of Aghadowey after a splendid drive ahead of Ryan Abernethy Jnr and Layton Cairns, as the young Ninja stars once again thrilled the crowds.

The Lightning Rods saw World Champion Nigel Jackson debut his new BMW, but it was Dean Catherwood in his BMW who impressed all afternoon. He led home Stuart Agnew and Martin O’Flaherty for a great heat one win, before he just held off O’Flaherty to take the second heat as well.
With an automatic upgrade for the final, it was never going to be plain sailing for Dean running from further back on the grid. But he had every intention of grabbing the feature race silverware too, and he duly led them home to complete his hat-trick ahead of Jackson and James McKinney.

The all-action Thunder Rods completed the line up, with well in excess of 20 cars coming to the grid for heat one. It was Rab Preston who took the victory in the opener, demoting newcomer Warren Graham to take the win. Clifford Gordon then took the second heat after a great drive ahead of Darryl McAleese and Zach McCombe.
McCombe’s third place in that second heat on his first night of racing signalled his undoubted ability, and he duly hit the front in the final and pulled clear to take a decisive and deserved victory. Gordon just couldn’t get close enough to the flying McCombe and had to settle for second ahead of Ryan Fleming and Preston.
