Undaunted the Islanders scored another 1-5 in heat 3 when Krzysztof Stojanowski and Jason Doyle headed home Tomas Suchanek and Kevin Little. Back came the Bears again with a 5-1 from Chris Kerr and Daniel Giffard to level the match with the score after four races 12-12.

Redcar finally took the lead in heat 6 when Gary Havelock beat Jason Bunyan with Mathieu Tresarrieu third for a 4-2 and two point lead. Krzysztof Stojanowski won for the second time in heat 7 but Jack Hargreaves and Chris Kerr filled the minor places for a share of the points.
