In a close meeting at Bletchley the Falcons managed to pull the score back to just a two point loss. The heat leaders stole the show with solid performances from the top three. Donnie Reeves also looks to be improving nicely, scoring well in his three programmed rides.
The Bengals always looked likely to edge the meeting but the Falcons will be delighted with the final two races in which they rescued the bonus point.
Attention now turns to next week in what is the most important meeting in the clubs history to date. The Falcons will be looking to secure silverware in their first season as they entertain the Raiders in the KO cup final.

Manger Stephen Gardner had this to say on the meeting;
"It was a decent performance from the boys tonight, to pull it back from where we were to nick the bonus point is a credit to our sides character. It's important for us to have a bit of momentum with the KO Cup final being next week, and if we show this determination again I think we'll have a good chance of bringing home the bacon. The meetings next week really are the culmination of a seasons worth of hard work and we are 100% focused on winning these meetings.
Being our final home match of the season, we want to see a bumper crowd at the Mugga to bring our boys home. For this reason we'll be offering buy one get one free tickets for the home leg of our meeting, hopefully you can join in what is sure to be a fantastic night of speedway!"
