Teesside producd a brilliant performance at King's Lynn but were edged out 46-44 by the league leaders.
Fresh from making a shock final appearance in the 4s Final Teesside travelled to Norfolk without their brilliant German Hans Benkarth and had to call up young Rye Racer Joran Joransson.
Despite Benkarth's absence Teesside were brilliant from the off and won 8 of the 15 races with heat leading trio Hans E Bergestol, Ole Bjorn Thoresen and Jack Hagen all winning at least two races each. Young Norwegian Bjorn Haagensen continued his great progress too.
Teesside went into Heat 15 with a chance of victory and gated on a 4-2 which would have done it but David Bedford got past Hagen to rescue The Lightning.
Team boss Graeme Bailey was beaming with praise: "I've had to go in the dressing room and get their heads up as they thought they had won that but I am so proud of them. From the fours to now, everyone thought without Hans we would do nothing but we have showed such great spirit and King's Lynn won't have many harder matches all season and they are league leaders, let's not forget that."
