In the first semi-final it was Tate Zischke who led from the inside gate and controlled the race leading his competitors throughout.
Seth Tregea was close behind followed by Jetzen Lyons and Jai Bainbridge.
The second semi-final was a tight race with Jaidyn Eaton taking first place followed by Lachlan Hawgood and Corey Van Elswyk.
Tate Zischke, Jaidyn Eaton Seth Tregea and Lachlan Hawgood all proceeded through to the grand final and revved their bikes as they awaited the gate to release.
