Heat 4 saw Dave Cooper team up with Nathan Everett for a 6-4, with Nathan then joining with Adam Stephenson for a heat 6 maximum race win. Bury took a share in the remaining first half heats thanks to taking second
and third places but the home side led at the interval by 12 points.

A run of four drawn heats was punctuated by an Andy Angell / Dave Cooper 7-3 before Neil Howarth / Harry Radford picked up Bury’s first heat win in the initial nominated race only for Hull to round up the match with two maximum heat wins for a 104 points to 74 win.
Bury pushed the home side hard in every race but were unable to match the fire power of Andy Angell, David Hemsley and Adam Stephenson who were all unbeaten in a sporting match that provided lots of exciting racing. Kaysor Mohammadi and Adam Turnbull look good prospects for Bury with Nathan Everett racing well for the home side and Dave Cooper having his best match for some time.
