Rye House were without Jaimie Courtney and Luke Bowen so used R/R at number 2 for Courtney and promoted Danny Betson from their Conference League side to fill the number 6 berth. Ross Brady was fit to take his place in the side at number 3 and the Rockets nominated another of their Conference League team, Ben Powell, as their number eight. Redcar were at full strength.

Rye House made heavy work of this match as Gary Havelock kept winning to keep them in check until a last heat 5-1 from Chris Neath and Edward Kennett finally ended Havelock’s maximum hopes as he finished third.

The Rockets raced to a 14-9 lead from the opening four heats but a 1-5 from Havelock and Tresarrieu resulted in heat 5 when Ross Brady fell and was excluded bringing the score back to 15-14. By heat 10 the Rockets had stretched out a 13 point lead at 36-23 but Gary Havelock won as a TR in heat 11 for a 3-6. Suchanek’s second place in heat 12 as a TR resulted in a 4-4 then a 2-4 from Havelock and Chris Kerr had Redcar trailing by just 8 points. Rye House finished with a 4-2 and 5-1 to produce a 14 point lead to take with them to Redcar for the bonus point.
