Five new young drivers joined the Junior Productions field for the first meeting of the year, and one of them, Ninja Karts Irish Champion Jack Murphy, led the opening heat for quite a distance. On the slippery track experience did tell in the end, with Ryan Berry charging through to win over Caolan Fegan and Casey Cherry. Murphy again impressed in heat two, with Berry again taking the win over Cherry and Andrew Hawe.
The final was all about Murphy though, as 10-year-old Jack, in his first meeting racing cars, stormed home to take the win and the trophy. It was a very popular victory indeed as he held his nerve out front, with Berry and Hawe competing the top three.

A pleasing field of Superstox took to the Tullyroan circuit, and it was Sean Mark and Dean Catherwood who shared the heat wins, as the star men battled hard amongst themselves and couldn’t make up ground to the front of the field.
The final saw Andrew Murphy ahead until he was passed by Mark, who them unfortunately got caught up in an Annaghmore Bend melee. That handed the lead to Catherwood, who duly completed his double for the day by the slenderest of margins from Murphy, with Jordan Robinson in third spot. Catherwood earns himself a rise to the star grade for his brace of wins.

Completing the programme were the Lightning Rods, which saw a number of cars eliminated after a big crash early in the opening heat. Stuart Agnew took victory in that one, before the rest of the afternoon belonged to Ballymena man Mark McBurney. He led home Agnew and Keith Kirwan in heat two, before taking the feature race by a distance from Agnew and Tom Hewitt.
