Redcar were without Mathieu Tresarrieu and used Rider Replacement in his place at number 2. Stoke were at full strength.. In a close meeting between these two sides, neither of which have any chance of making further progress in this competition, Redcar let an 11 point lead after heat 10 slip by losing heat advantages in the next four races to lose the bonus point by a single point. Both sides had high scoring reserves with the Bears gaining a slight advantage from Jack Hargreaves and Daniel Giffard’s 15+1 to Stoke’s Barrie Evans and Luke Priest with 12+1. For Stoke Mark Lemon took a Tactical Ride in heat 11 but he was beaten by Chris Kerr. Trent Leverington’s only point of the match gave the Potters a 3-5 heat win which was to prove decisive in deciding the destination of the bonus point. Gary Havelock suffered his only defeat of the night in heat 13 when he was finally beaten by Mark Lemon. Redcar will feel that they really should have taken the bonus point. They provided 10 of the 15 race winners and every one of their six man team won at least one race. Match Report by Merlin
