The Tigers had put in a good solid team performance in this rain affected match, winning despite only providing four race winners. They started well taking the lead in heat 2 and kept the scores close until finding themselves five points behind with four heats remaining. As the rain grew steadily heavier they raced to three 5-1's before Poole pulled one back themselves in the final heat by which time the away win was already assured.
