In the NS14s it was Sundaze Sam & Lindy Bailey first from Viva la Vida Darren Eggins and Georgia Ottway in second and Avengers Lewis Bowen and Jess Smith in third.
In the B14s Jumpin' Jack Flash Roger Jackson and Pat Hutton had a big win nearly 3 minutes ahead of Bang Bang Stephen Mitchell and Sarah Krulow in second and Phantom Steve Miller and Safiya Davidson in third.
