Category 4 was won by young Keanu Slingers of the Paarl based Yorkshire Cycling Club.

Category 3 was dominated by City CC riders who split the big bunch halfway through the 55 kilometre race when they attacked after the first intermediate sprint. They kept the pace high and maintained the gap throughout the race. Tyron Ingle won the sprint from club mate Lukas Kruger with Rodney Pedro of Kinetic CC taking third place.

Category 1 & 2 got off to a flying start but the bunch soon settled down to contest the first intermediate sprint which was won by Jan de Beer of Maties from Chris Wolhuter of SW Contract/Cube. There was a flurry of attacks by the Maties team which resulted in a breakaway for Jan De Beer and Mat Evans of the Berge Farrell team. Matt Evans continued to attack after the second intermediate sprint won by Jan De Beer and opened up a 30 second time gap on the bunch. With the laps ticking by the Maties team went to the front and brought back Evans on the penultimate lap. Stefan Ihlenfelt bided his time over the last 500 metres and kicked when it mattered, taking the sprint for the Maties from Nabig Davids of Heinz Park CC.

The next Winter league event will be taking place out in Atlantis Industria on Sunday 22 April on the Neil Hare Drive Circuit.
