Ricky leads heat 1 from Mattia Carpanese until Joel passes him on the second
lap. James Wright followed him past and was set to swoop around Joel on the
fourth turn when Joel picked up drive and they collided with James clearing
the fence! Graham Flint ruled Joel the guilty party and awarded the race. Paul
and Birko trapped to lead heat 2 with Charles Wright retiring on the third lap.
Craig Branney held George Stancl out to win heat 3 and Kenneth Hansen slipped
past James Cockle on the third lap to narrow the gap. Kauko Nieminen breezed
heat 4 but Birko had his work cut out to hold off hard challenging Jamie Robertson.
Hansen and Branney gated to win heat 5 with Ricky pushing but failing to get
past. Comets lead by 4 points.
All four back after Paul anticipated the start in heat 6. Jamie Robertson
got a flyer in the restart. George led from the tapes in heat 7 from Kauko and
James Cockle was third ahead of Charles Wright. Good racing as both Comets tried
to get past but the Tigers hold their places. Mattia trapped and was gone in
heat 8. Jamie passed Joel Parsons on the last bend of lap 2 to claim a maximum
heat win. Ben Wilson made his first good start and won heat 9 while everyone
was watching Paul and Mattia battling for third place. Mattia came good with
an inside pass on turn three on the last lap. Mattia fell at the back at the
start of the second lap, causing heat 10 to be rerun. George made no mistake
second time around, and Charles (on one of brother James' bikes) passed James
Cockle on the back straight. James then picked up a puncture and trundled around
for the odd point. Comets still lead by 4 points.
Jamie Robertson replaces Charles
Wright in heat 11 but he breaks the tapes and picks up a 15m handicap. Kauko
traps & Jamie can't make up the lost ground. Kenneth Hansen leads George
in heat 12 while Charles Wright is again on his brothers machine and passes
Paul on the third bend. Jamie Robertson takes James Wrights's place in heat
13. Kauko traps and Ricky passes Jamie on the last bend of the first lap. Charles
is ruled out of heat 14 for exceeding the time allowance. Jamie Robertson in for
his seventh ride passes James Cockle at the end of the first lap, but the heat
is shared as Craig runs last. Sheffield win the toss and choose gates 1 & 3
but it Kauko who leads the way from George and Ricky with Kenneth Hansen dropping
a chain on the first lap.
