great start, with Ebony Darnell putting Barney’s
Stragglers into second place, ahead of Rhonda Clarke

laps, until Warren’s Rabbits team captain
Nathaniel Warren put in the fastest leg of the day
to grab the lead. Col Barnett and Liam Scott both
put in good legs to keep Barney’s Stragglers
in second place, while Gary Howden, with the help
of Garry Rice lifted his team Howden’s Hounds
