Top scorer.. The Lions, tracking Championship heat leaders at reserve, demonstrated the difference in gating between the leagues. Josh G's guest proved to be a total embarassment, and skipper Kyle's rider replacement cover accumulated just 5 points as the Lions totally dominated the first leg. Only Lasse and Todd took heat wins as the Tigers were seen off by their big cat opponents.
