The reserves race provided a competitive battle for the minor positions between Heathens' Phil Knowles and regular Wolf cub Matt Cambridge. In the end it was Knowles who took the point behind partner Mark Steele, but Barry Evans was the second heat winner of the night for the home side. According to my figures, we suffered only three engine failures during a race, all season; the first a big blow-up for Freddie Stephenson and the other two for The Bouncer, Mitch Barker. Any riders know any different!? Camden gated and led from tapes to flag, Knowles showed briefly in second but slipped to last in a race that the Heathens were looking to take an advantage from.

Chris Harris, Matej Zagar, Ben Barker - I watched them all when they were Trelawny Tigers. Very sad when it had to go. Matches against Exeter were always great."
