A crowd of about 3000 saw Edinburgh gain an overwhelming victory over Wombwell. At the end of three races they were in an unbeatable position having gained five points from each race and only another point was needed to ensure victory.

The fourth race saw Edinburgh again take full points and it was agreed to dispense with the last two races.

The handicap final was East v. West. Two Glasgow riders, Col Stewart and Alan Campbell meeting Syd Parsons and George McKenzie. McKenzie had engine trouble and Col Stewart, after getting the better of Campbell, held Syd Parsons at bay.

The Gold Sash was won outright by Len Stewart. In the final three riders came down on the first bend, Col Stewart escaping. The re-run took place without McQueen who was bruised on arm and leg by the fall and Len Stewart had an easy win, Col Stewart failing to start. Parsons wheeled his machine to the grass.
