Ricky Ashworth anticipated the start of heat 1 causing Peter Clarke to
bring them all back to the tapes. Ricky was first away again in the rerun and
he cut across the field into turn one causing the other three to bunch up with
Joel Parsons coming off the worst. Joel managed to pass Chris Schramm exiting
turn two but couldn't find a way past Michal Rajkowski. Paul Cooper made light
of his injured ribs to win heat 2 but Kyle Hughes missed the start completely
and retired from fourth place on the last lap. André Compton passed Theo
Pijper to lead exiting turn two in heat 3 and Lee Smethills took third place
when Michal drifted too wide on the last lap. Paul made another good start to
lead heat 4 with Ben Wilson passing him out of turn two. Jan Graversen just
couldn't get around the fourth turn and he retired from the back of the field.
Chris was challenging André at the start of heat 5 when the Sheffield
skipper picked up drive and skittled Chris into the fence on the second turn.
After a brief delay while he straightened his bike out Chris bounced back to
win the rerun ahead of Lee who passed Michal on the second turn. Sheffield lead
by six points.
Ricky and Joel take an untroubled 5-1 in heat 6. Ben Wilson is the first
to show in heat 7 with Kyle in second. Theo dives past to take second
place on the third turn but Kyle rides a nice steady line to stay ahead of Jan.
Paul and Joel clean up in heat 8 with Michal failing to recover ground after
a very wide first turn. André and Lee team ride to a 5-1 ahead of Jan
in heat 9 with Mark Baseby taking a very heavy fall from last place on the final
turn which earned him an ambulance ride for a check-up at the Northern General
Hospital. Ricky and Joel show a clean pair of heels to Theo in heat 10 claiming
another 5-1 leaving the home Tigers now twenty four points ahead.
Chris is wearing the black & white in heat 11 but it's Ben who leads
from the tapes. Kyle rounds Michal out of turn two and takes another good point.
André traps ahead in heat 12 and Theo gets the better of Paul to spoil
his maximum. Ricky and Ben do the business again in heat 13 ahead of Chris.
Lee gets the drop to lead heat 14 with Kyle chasing hard after Theo. The dutchman
goes too wide on the pits turn on the third lap and Kyle is perfectly placed
to steal second place. Ben leads heat 15 with Chris climbing all over Ricky
in second. Ricky passes his team mate on the second lap and Ben does enough
to hold off Chris as the South Yorkshire Tigers finish with three maximum heat
wins.
