800: R McHarg 2:09.79
1500: 1 McHarg 4:20.32 (WR); 2 A Ridley 4:21.91

Andrew Ridley, wary of Rob McHarg’s 800m prowess, started at a furious pace and 400m in 67 and 800m in 2:17 (quicker than all bar McHarg ran in the event the day before) set up a surefire record if they didn’t blow up on the second half.
In one of the greatest ever masters clashes, Ridley pushed through the second half at a similar pace in attempt to drop his rival who had finished six seconds behind him in Gothenburg last summer.
Just before the bell, McHarg kicked past in an effort to surprise and although Ridley chased throughout the last lap the Scot held on through a 33-second last 200m with a time of 4:20.32 to take four seconds off of Ridley’s mark as both he and Ridley (4:21.91) were well inside the outdoor world record too.
