Somerset used R/R for Paul Fry at number 2 moving Glen Phillips to number 4. Mildenhall were at full strength. This was a close contest until heats 9 and 10 when the Rebels doubled their six points lead to twelve. Mildenhall produced heat advantages in three of the last five heats, two with the aid of TRs, but it was a case of too little, too late. Somerset had eleven of the fifteen race winners and will be satisfied with the size of their win given that they were using R/R for Paul Fry. With Emil Kramer due to join the team they should be a powerful force. An opening race 5-1 from Magnus Zetterstrom and Glen Phillips (R/R), who passed Jason Lyons, for the Rebels was neutralised by a 1-5 from Jon Armstrong and Barry Burchatt in heat 2 for the Fen Tigers after Simon Walker had fallen and been excluded and Barry Burchatt had had to go from 15 metres back after touching the tapes. Stephan Katt and Glenn Phillips added another 5-1 in heat 3 from the Kings (Daniel and Jason) then Glenn Cunningham passed both Jon Armstrong and Brent Werner to win heat 4 for a shared race taking the score to 14-10. Jason Lyons won heat 5 for a 3-3 but Somerset increased their lead to six points with a 4-2 from Zetterstrom and Barker (R/R) split by Brent Werner in heat 6. Glenn Cunningham and Stephan Katt then won heats 7 and 8 both for shared heats to take the score to 27-21. The Fen Tigers fell a further six points behind when they lost a 4-2 in heat 9 when Stephan Katt beat Brent Werner with Glen Phillips third and a 5-1 in heat 10 as Magnus Zetterstrom and Glenn Cunningham (TR) beat the Kings taking the score to 36-24. Jason Lyons took a TR in heat 11 but was beaten by Glenn Cunningham. However with James Brundle third the visitors took a 3-5 cutting the gap between the sides to 10 points. Out came Daniel King in heat 12 wearing the black and white helmet cover and he did better winning the race from Stephan Katt and Ben Barker for a 3-6. This made the score after twelve races 42-35. Cunningham and Zetterstrom continued their unbeaten runs taking a 5-1 in heat 13 from Jason Lyons but Jason King won heat 14 from Glen Phillips with Jon Armstrong third for a 2-4. In the last heat Magnus Zetterstrom beat Daniel King to complete his paid five ride maximum but Glenn Phillips missed out on a six ride paid maximum when he finished last to Jason Lyons.
