King’s Lynn were looking to pull back 15 points to take the bonus. They had George Stancl guesting for Oliver Allen at number five and Darren Mallett for Jan Jaros at number six . The Isle of Wight used Rider Replacement for Jason Bunyan at number five and had Luke Bowen at number seven for Steen Jensen. Two heat wins for Craig Boyce in heats one and four, the latter as R/R, were the Isle of Wight’s contribution to the first four heats as the Stars took all the other points with two 5-1s and two shared heats to make the score 16-8. Adam Allott beat Craig Boyce in heat 5 but the heat was shared when Kevin Doolan suffered an engine failure. Normal service was resumed in heat 6 with another King’s Lynn 5-1 from Tomas Topinka and James Brundle. With the score now 24-12, the Islanders gave Ulrich Ostergaard a TR in heat 7 but he blew it by falling and being excluded so King’s Lynn took a 4-2 from Stancl and Mallett with Krister Marsh taking second place. The Islanders then tried a bold move giving Craig Boyce a Tactical Substitute ride from 15 metres back in heat 8 replacing Luke Bowen. He got up into second place but couldn’t catch James Brundle so the heat was shared 4-4 and the score was 32-18. Adam Allott and Kevin Doolan produced another 5-1 in heat 9 and King’s Lynn were finally ahead on aggregate with the bonus point looking like a forlorn hope for the visitors. Another 4-2 for the Stars in heat 10 from Topinka and Brundle with Ostergaard second took the score to 41-21 and King’s Lynn had built up a 5 point aggregate lead. Craig Boyce stopped the rot by passing George Stancl to win heat 12 for a share of the points then the Isle of Wight gave Krister Marsh a TR in heat 12. However he could only finish behind Ashley Jones and Kevin Doolan so the Stars took a 5-2. Tomas Topinka won heat 13 by beating Craig Boyce. With George Stancl third another 4-2 went to the Stars. Adam Allott registered his fourth heat win in heat 14 for a shared heat then, in heat 15, the Isle of Wight had a consolation 1-5 from Craig Boyce and Ulrich Ostergaard from Kevin Doolan and Adam Allott, with Allott not for the first time losing out on his maximum with a last heat disappointment.
