King’s Lynn had James Brundle missing for this match and used R/R for him at number 4. Their guest for Oliver Allen at number 5 was Davey Watt. Somerset were at full strength. It was another blistering start for the Stars as they rattled home a 5-1 in heat 2 and 4-2s in the other three heats to lead, after heat 4, by 17-7. Immediately Somerset gave Magnus Zetterstrom a TR but he was beaten by Adam Allott although with Jamie Smith taking the third place point the Rebels at least took a heat advantage by 3-5 to cut the deficit to eight points at 20-12. King’s Lynn then started to stretch their lead. Tomas Topinka and Paul Lee took a 5-1 then in heat 6 then Davey Watt beat Ritchie Hawkins with Ashley Jones third after Paul Fry had failed to beat the two minute time allowance and had to start from 15 metres back. Paul Lee won heat 8 but Lee Smart and Jaimie Smith kept Jan Jaros at the back for a shared heat to take the score after heat 8 to 32-18. Glenn Cunningham took a TR in heat 9 but again Adam Allott saw off the double point ride and the heat was shared 4-4. Heat 10 was shared too when Paul Lee suffered an engine failure. When Davey Watt won heat 11 with Ashley Jones following him home for a 5-1, all three King’s Lynn heat leaders had scored 9 (3) and the score was 44-26. Adam Allott kept the run going by winning heat 12 for a shared heat. Then Tomas Topinka and Davey Watt did likewise with a 5-1 in heat 13 from Cunningham and Zetterstrom. Another 5-1 materialised in heat 14 thanks to Ashley Jones and Paul Lee and the rout was completed as the Stars finished the match with a hat-trick of maximums while Topinka and Watt joined Allott in the maximum stakes.
