Josef Franc makes a lightning start to heat 1 and wins in the fastest time of the season. Joe Haines
gates ahead to win heat 2 and Emiliano joins him by passing Jason King at the end of the first lap. Lee Complin is the
comfortable winner of heat 3 but Chris Schramm has to work hard to fend off David Bellego. Chris runs wide off the last bend and
bounces off the fence, crossing the finish line hanging on for dear life before baling out. Unfortunately his bike careered
down the track and smashed into the un expecting Richard Hall who was slowing down into the first corner. Richard was able to
limp his way back to the pits. Ricky Wells makes a sweet start and wins heat 4 with ease. Emiliano picks off Jason at the end
of the first lap and Ashley Morris on the second for another maximum heat win. Lubos
Tomicek makes a cracking start to lead heat 5 and Ricky
Ashworth is content to follow him home and the Tigers lead is trimmed back to just four points.
Josef and Hugh Skidmore are untroubled by the Bandits guests in heat 6. Ricky Wells is penalised for breaking the tapes in heat
7 and takes a 15 metre handicap. Joe makes a lightning start to lead from David and Lee tucks in behind his team mate. Ricky Wells
closes in quickly and passes Lee entering the third bend on the second lap. Lee fights
back quickly retaking the position around
the outside of the first bend. Hugh leads heat 8 and Emiliano joins him after passing Jason on the pits turn. Richard leads the way
in heat 9 but Robert Branford takes Chris VERY wide on the first turn. Chris charges hard under Robert on the fourth turn and sets
off in pursuit of Ashley who he swoops around on the second corner of the last lap. Much appreciated by the Tigers fans. David
Bellego took a heavy fall in heat 10 but was able to walk back to the pits. Lee took all six points passing Hugh on the second lap
of the rerun but the Tigers still lead by thirteen points.
Ricky Ashworth takes another six pointer in heat 11 but his team mate isn't so good when he doesn't gate. Emiliano gates to win
heat 12. Chris passes Lee on the back straight and fends him off for a couple of laps otherwise I'm sure Lee would have caught the
leader. Ricky Ashworth trapped to lead heat 13 but Josef passes him on the inside out of turn two. The two of them have a great scrap
for a couple of laps before Ricky pulls clear around the outside. Joe leads heat 14, Richard dives under Robert into turn three and
Robert bounces off the fence on turn four before retiring. Ricky Ashworth traps ahead in heat 15 and Lee blasts around the Tigers
out of turn two. Lee then spends the rest of the race scraping the fence trying to overhaul his team mate but
to no avail.
The Bandits were effectively a two man team but will no doubt put on more of a show when they return in the league.
