Crump from the gate.
Heat 5. Stead, Correy, Hamill, Wright. 56.89. 3-3. 15-15

Heat 7. Bjerre, Lindgren, Screen, Lawson. 56.98. 2-4. 20-22
Bjerre makes a good gate, Freddie tries the outside but there isn't enough grip. William has 3rd briefly but the screen machine is too fast for him. Track now being watered and regraded
Heat 8. Hefenbrock, Madsen, Wright, M Karlsson. 58.35. 3-3. 23-25
The Wolves pair gate for the 5-1, but Magnus looks like he's on a scooter and is passed by Madsen on lap 2 and Wright on lap 4.
Heat 9. Crump, Correy, Hamill, Parsons. 57.11. 3-3. 26-28
Crump makes the start, Billy doesn't, but a storming Correy keeps it wound open and PASSES Crump exiting bend 2. It only lasted half a lap and Crump went under Ronnie leaving bend 4.

PK from the gate, good battle for the minor places.
Heat 11. Lindgren, Stead, Wright, Lawson. 57.17. 3-3. 33-33
Lindgren gates, but Stead dumps William in the fence. Rerun with all 4. Lindgren again gates to win. William tried everything to pass Wright but just doesn't quite catch him. Interval now
Heat 12. Bjerre, Correy, Madsen, M Karlsson. 58.04. 2-4. 35-37
A race of two battles, and we lost on both counts. Photo finish with some bemused faces when Bjerre was announced the winner, and MK just losing out to Madsen (in for Parsons)

Heat 14. Screen, Lawson, Hamill, Madsen. 58.49. 3-3. 43-41
Hamill misses the gate again, Screen's away for the win but William's battling behind him. Billy gets 3rd easily and settles to stay there to protect William.

PK off 2 and Crump off 3 gate together, Pk leads briefly but Crump goes round the outside of bend 3-4 for the win, Freddie holds off Stead for the Wolves Win.
Another tight meeting but we came good in the end.
