Mildenhall were without Daniel King who was injured riding in last night’s under 21 championship final in Italy. They used R/R instead at number 5. Workington were missing Tomasz Piszcz, for whom they used R/R at number 3, and both reserves Lee Derbyshire and Aidan Collins. At reserve they had two guests, Ben Powell and Adam Roynon.

When the Comets lost Rusty Harrison with a cut hand in heat 3 things looked distinctly poor for them but one look at the scorechart shows what an inspired choice of guest they made in Adam Roynon. Mildenhall finished with only five riders too as James Brundle withdrew with a suspected broken leg.

Workington led by 20-22 after 7 races and still had a two point lead after heat 11 when the score was 32-34. A 2-4 for the Comets put them 34-38 ahead after heat 12. Heat 13 was shared but Workington tied up the points with another 2-4 in heat 14 which took the score to 39-45. Mildenhall scored a 5-1 in the last heat to cut the winning margin to two points but it was too late for the Fen Tigers. Workington’s late charge towards the play-offs is still alive and kicking.
