The Tigers were ten points ahead after 5 heats but the Comets hit back with an 8-1 courtesy of Carl Stonehewer on a tactical. Six races later and it was the Tigers resorting to tacticals as they now trailed by nine points themselves. A much better display by Ricky, although the less said about André the better. Kyle's battle with Kauko Nieminen in heat 14 went right to the finish line, but unfortunately led to Kyle hitting the fence after the finish and a trip to Whitehaven hospital. It seems he's broken a major bone in his foot and may be out of action for a couple of months.
