Joining Holloway in the break away group were; Tony Ineson, Brian Toomey, Ray Alcock and Trevor Tindale.  
It was not long after that they were caught by the main bunch, led by Harry Hubber, Graham Sycamore, K. Healey, J. Hall, and a new rider, R. Browning.

From the turn on the main Riverton Highway the leading three of Holloway, Hubber and Inneson broke away - with no one having a chance of catching them.

It was Holloway that had the gas to win the sprint to the finish line.
