The Isle of Wight were at full strength for this meeting while Newport welcomed back Mads Korneliussen after a lengthy absence. They used R/R for Jason King and continued with Karl Mason at number 7. This had the makings of another 70 plus score for the Islanders when they won the opening three races by the 5-1 margin. However Mads Korneliussen stopped the rot with a second place behind Krzysztof Stojanowski in heat 4 to restrict the home side to a 4-2. Tony Atkin did likewise in heat 5. Although Ulrich Ostergaard won the race Atkin beat Krister Marsh for second place. When Steen Jensen had an engine failure in heat 6 another three points went the Wasps’ way in a heat won by Craig Boyce but Doyle and Stojanowski returned the Islanders to 5-1 winning ways in heat 7. In heat 8 Tony Atkin took a TR and another second place, this time behind Glenn Phillips, led to a 4-4. This brought the score after eight races to 35-15. Heat 9 was another 5-1 to the home side from Ostergaard and Marsh but in heat 10 Mads Korneliussen took a Tactical Substitute ride from 15 metres back as a R/R ride and when Steen Jensen suffered another engine failure Korneliussen got up to second place behind Craig Boyce for a 3-5 to Newport. Tony Atkin fell causing a rerun to heat 11, another 5-1 to the Isle of Wight, then Neil Collins took a TR in heat 12. Krister Marsh won the race but Neil Collins beat Glen Phillips for second place and another 4-4 was the result. This took the score to 52-26. Heats 13 and 14 resulted in 5-1s to the home side but the Wasps shared heat 15 when Henrik Vedel and Neil Collins finished behind Craig Boyce and ahead of Jason Doyle, the other rider in the heat.
