In the first moto for the final round, it soon became a battle between Dare and Gillespie however by the second lap Dare was already out to a seven second lead ahead of Gillespie. Gillespie continued to chase Dare until the last lap board and was less than two seconds behind, with Rebecca Lipsett (Honda) a massive 43 seconds back in third place. Dare held onto the lead and took the flag ahead of Gillespie with in second and Lipsett in third. The second moto, once again, became a battle of the titans between reigning Champ Gillespie and Dare, who in her first year of Senior Competition has blown away the opposition. Gillespie was determined to keep Dare within her reach throughout the duration of the moto, the two girls banging bars at every corner until Gillespie eventually got the better of Dare and started to pull out to an 11 second lead to take the flag. In the third Moto, Dare seemed to have the title wrapped up breaking out to an impressive lead over Gillespie. The young Yamaha rider managed to put more than six seconds between her and Gillespie, holding onto the lead until the flag with third placed Nicole Davis (Yamaha) nearly 35 seconds behind. The fourth and final moto was a disaster for Gillespie getting stuck in the pack and having to ride her way through the field while Dare continued to extend her lead out the front. At the flag it was Dare who took line honours with Gillespie working her way up to second place with Steph Cutler (Kawasaki) in third. ‰ÛÏHaving the number one plate means a lot,‰Û
