Heat 2; Facundo passed Ryan Douglas entering the 3rd bend on the second lap and just did enough to hold on to second place. Heat 4; Ricky went passed Ryan down the back straight on the first lap and extended a comfortable lead. Heat 5; Rider replacement Kevin Doolan from the outside gate rounded the field on the second turn but was passed by Ryan at the start of the second lap. Heat 6; Kevin passed Nicolai Klindt on the second turn to move into third place and that's how the race finished. Heat 7; After being pulled back for anticipating the start Ricky split the Scorpions on the first turn and left them in his wake.Heat 8; The Scorpions look set for a 5-1 until Ryan bounced off the fence on the last lap taking an untidy tumble and lucky not to collect either of the following Tigers riders. Heat10; Andre picked off Thomas Jorgensen on the second bend but never had a chance to get on terms with Ryan. Heat 11; Josh rounded the field from gate 4 but Ricky squeezed ahead into turn 3. Facundo never gave up on Lewis and passed him on the inside of the 3rd turn on the third lap to give the Tigers a slender 2 point lead. Heat 12; Nicolai and Thomas are gifted a 5-1 when Kevin suffers a breakdown. Heat 13; Last heat decider with the Tigers needing a 5-1 to win or a 4-2 to draw. Ricky Wells is unbeaten and Facundo passed Lewis just two races ago so Tigers fans are expectant. The Scorpions make the gate and Ricky trails home stone dead last. Just about sums up the season. We couldn't even manage a colour front for the programme.
