Both Rye House and Somerset were at full strength for this match. There was nothing at stake other than pride in this match, the second leg of a fixture filler and Rye House ran out easy winners as Somerset conceded no fewer than eight 5-1s over the fifteen races. Ross Brady started off his unbeaten run with a win over Magnus Zetterstom with Jaimie Courtney third for a 4-2. Then followed three 5-1s for the Rockets to put them 15-9 ahead after four races. Magnus Zetterstrom stopped the rot by winning heat 5 for a shared race then Glenn Cunningham took a TR in heat 6. Brady and Courtney scored another 5-1 however so it was to no avail. Stephan Katt became Somerset’s second race winner in heat 7 for a shared race and heat 8, won by Jaimie Courtney was shared too so the score after eight races was 33-15. Two more home 5-1s followed before Magnus Zetterstrom took a TR in heat 11. He finished second to Chris Neath so the race was shared 4-4. Katt split the Kennett/Boxall pairing in heat 12 for a 4-2 to take the score to 51-23. Ross Brady completed his paid maximum in heat 13 with Neath following for another 5-1 then Bowen and Allen add another in heat 14. But, lo and behold, the Rebels had the last laugh with a 1-5 success in the final heat to reach the 30 point mark when Stephan Katt and Magnus Zetterstrom saw off Tommy Allen and Edward Kennett.
