Winkler was not to be outdone however, and eventually regained
the lead in the closing stages, to record an excellent victory in 2m02.86s.
Another strong Morpeth performer in the event was Joe Dowd, who finished fourth in 2m04.93s.

In the 800m B race, Morpeth newcomer Lewis Middleton finished ninth in 2m56.51s.
