Top scorer After a humiliating defeat at bRough park the Tigers needed to beat the Monarchs to stand any chance of squeezing into the play-offs. The Monarchs were riding high at the top of the league but had a somewhat chequered history at Owlerton so it wasn't an unreasonable expectation.

Simon put his away form behind him and aside from a machine failure he was only headed by Sam Masters in heat 15. Dmitri's paid 9 was above his average, as was Kyle's paid 10, and Jason only missed out on his maximum by the same Sam Masters last heat win.

Arthur's four points were disappointing; Josh top scored at bRough Park but only managed a meagre three points at home, and Nathan followed his paid 6 away score by failing to open his account when most needed.
