2007 Progaramme In the third heat André lifted exiting turn 2 and collided with Daniel Nermark taking a very heavy fall. As he left to go to hospital so did all the Tigers team spirit. Ben Wilson held second place briefly in heat 4 until Paul Lee passed him. Ricky and Joel were ahead of Trevor Harding in heat 5, until Ricky fell on the third turn and Joel couldn't avoid him. Ben led heat 9 but was passed inside and out exiting turn 2. Chris Mills passed James Cockle on the first lap of heat 10 and try as he might Birko couldn't get past.

The Stars were fired up for this one and kept themselves very motivated. I imagine there are going to be quite a few one-sided matches at the Norfolk Arena this year. The Tigers showed how much they rely on their captain for inspiration and we now face a testing time without him as he recovers from his injuries.
