This was the match race between two riders who have been such stars in the Newport Nocturne and beyond, Malcolm Elliott and Chris Newton. Newton lined up first with young Jack Escritt and they set a hot time which Elliott and another youngster, James Ireson, were unable to match and so it was Newton and Escritt who were able to step onto the podium and celebrate with the champagne
