Rye House welcomed Tai Woffinden back to face the match rusty Tigers.
Chris Neath led heat 1 but Robbie Kessler took a tumble at the back of the field
causing a restart. Ricky made a better start second time around. James Cockle
shot into the lead in heat 2 and held his advantage to the flag, and André
made it a hat trick of wins leading Tommy Allen home after Tai had fallen in
heat 3. Sheffield's lead went in heat 4 as Steve Boxall and Adam Roynon outpaced
Joel and Paul, and the Tigers went four behind in heat 5 as Tai and Tommy left
Ricky and Ben floundering.
Chris Neath won heat 6 but Paul and Joel took advantage of another fall by
Herr Flick to share the heat. Steve Boxall won heat 7, but once again the Tigers
were gifted a share of the points with Luke Bowen taking a second turn tumble.
James Cockle led heat 8 but Adam Roynon passed him to take the win and Herr
Flick stayed on two wheels to finish ahead of Ben Wilson. Tai and Tommy took
an untroubled 5-1 in heat 9 ahead of Joel with Paul tumbling off at the back
of the field, and as we were now 10 points down tactics came into play. André
was wearing the black & white helmet colour as he battled his way past Chris
Neath into second place but by this time Adam Roynon was long gone. The Tigers
trail by 10 points, but are looking good for the bonus as they are still 9 points
ahead on aggregate.
Steve Boxall won heat 11 but Adam (in for Luke Bowen who hurt his wrist when
he fell) was unable to continue where he left off in the previous heat and trailed
home last behind Ricky and Ben. Tai got the drop on André to win heat
12 and Adam (three heats on the trot) contained Paul to nibble away at the Tigers
aggregate lead. Steve and Chris took a massive 5-1 ahead of Ricky and Joel in
heat 13, and when Tommy and Adam did the same ahead of Birko and Cockle in heat
14 it left the Rockets one point ahead (on aggregate) going into the deciding
last heat. The Rockets nominated the unbeaten Steve Boxall and Tai (1 fall and
three wins), while the Tigers opted for Ricky and André who had one win
each. When the tapes rose it was André who led the way from Steve and
Ricky kept it tight to take the vital third place to clinch the bonus point.
Paul Cooper, Joel Parsons and James Birkinshaw all failed to finish ahead
of a Rye rider all night. Ben Wilson finished ahead of Adam Roynon once. James
Cockle won the reserves race on his way to 5 points and Ricky and André
redeemed themselves with their efforts in heat 15. Rye is not a happy hunting
ground and the lads may be race rusty, but even so this was still a poor result.
