Scott Nicholls took the tactical ride and won the heat for a 6-3. Birmingham hit back with a 5-1 so Kazprzak took the tactical ride and won in a 6-3.
Two 3-3's were followed by a easy win for Ben Barker in a 5-1 before the final heat was stopped after a crash on the third bend of the second lap. Ben Barker, for whom an ambulance was brought onto the track, was excluded after being blamed for taking down Scott Nicholls who got up.
Chris Harris won the re-run heat and the Bees went down to a 61-35 defeat.
