There was a three man pile-up on the third bend in the second heat. Dave Morton was excluded as the principle cause of the stoppage, Larry Kosta was able to continue but Alan Molyneux wasn't quite so lucky and took no further part in the match. The Tigers took the lead in heat 7 with a 4-2 from reserve Reg Wilson and Eric Broadbelt. Dave Morton and the other reserve Mark Fiora made it a three point lead in heat 9, and Eric and Reg took another 4-2 in heat 10 to extend it to five. Chris Morton won 3 of the remaining six races with Larry Ross and Jim McMillan claiming one each but the Tigers packed the minor placings to claim a confidence boosting away win.

Eric Broadbelt won the second half senior final ahead of Shawn Moran and Larry Ross, and the junior winner was Bernie Collier from Graham Beardsley and Julian Parr.
