2007 ProgrammeThe Sheffield Window Centre Tigers are eliminated from the Knock-Out Cup at the first hurdle following an abysmal display at Armadale. Ronnie Correy comfortably outpaced André to win heat 1 and Derek Sneddon on his return from injury took third ahead of Ben. James Cockle gated ahead in heat 2 but was passed inside and out by the Monarchs pair exiting turn 2. Will Lawson led heat 3 with the Tigers filling the minor placings until Ricky fell. Henrik clipped him and took a tumble but returned to take a 5-1 in the rerun. Joel won heat 4 but Paul trailed home last for a shared heat. André took a tactical in heat 5 and took the full 6 points ahead of Will and Henrik, but Ben trailed home last.

The Tigers were on for a 1-5 in heat 6 with James C leading from Joel. Joel took the lead on the pits turn and James fell on the next bend. Joel led the rerun right until the last bend when Ronnie Correy judged his run to perfection. Matt Wethers and Daniele Tessari team rode ahead of Ricky in heat 7 until Daniele made an error on the last lap. Ricky snatched second place and Daniele fell as he went very wide on the last turn. The Monarchs extended their lead in heat 8 after Ben fell on the first turn. Joel tried all he could heat 9 but the Monarchs pair extend their lead to 17 points. James C misses out under the 2 minute rule in heat 10. Ricky was trying hard to make up a lost position and he fell heavily on the last turn. Aggregate scores are now level.

Ben is dumped into the fence by Daniele on the first turn in heat 11 and picks up an exclusion for his troubles. André passes Matt to win the rerun. Will led heat 12 from Ricky and James until Ricky's bike expires. Andrew Tully leaves it late but swoops around James out of the last bend to put the Monarchs into an aggregate lead. André led heat 13 but Ronnie rides shotgun on Matt's rear wheel to prevent Joel fighting back. Neil Machin gambles on putting Joel out as a tactical substitute in heat 14. Ben traps in the lead but is passed by Daniele at the end of the first lap. Joel is climbing all over Henrik but Henrik gets the inside run out of turn two passing Ben and settling the result. The Tigers led heat 15 until Will Lawson passed Joel on the first lap. Will lost a chain just as Ronnie picked off Joel but it was all over for the Tigers.
