| Already
without Phil Crump (told to rest by doctors in order to allow injuries
to heal), Australia lost Langfield - and New Zealand, Briggs - for the
night, following a collision in heat 9 which saw both riders go to
hospital, though neither suffered serious injury. Mauger tried to team
ride Timmo in the final heat to gain a NZ win, but had to abandon the
plan when both Aussies passed them. 1: Mauger, Middleton, Andrews, Curtis 2-4 2: Mudge, Monk, Timmo, Shuter 5-1 7-5 3: Valentine, Gifford, Moore, Langfield 3-3 10-8 4: Boulger, Monk, Timmo, Briggs 5-1 15-9 5: Mauger, Mudge, Valentine, Andrews , Langfield T 3-3 18-12 |

| After a
45-minute delay, riders agreed to ride under protest on a wet track -
and an excellent race meeting followed. Christer Lofqvist excelled in
the conditions, but England's strength in depth (excepting the reluctant
Kilby) saw them home. 1: N Boocock, Ashby, Simensen, B Jansson 5-1 2: Lofqvist, Lomas, T Jansson, Kilby R 2-4 7-5 3: Persson, E Boocock, Betts, Holmkvist 3-3 10-8 4: Wilson, Lofqvist, T Jansson, Kilby R 3-3 13-11 5: Betts, B Jansson, E Boocock, Simensen 4-2 17-13 |

| Despite
losing skipper Michanek with severe bruising after a fall in heat 1,
when Olsen clipped his back wheel, Sweden went 12 pts ahead after heat 7
(11 of their 27 points having come from reserve Lofqvist), before Olsen
and co fought back and just failed to force a draw with the required
last race 5-1. 1: Lofqvist, Simensen, Berg, Olsen FX, Michanek F,ns 1-5 2: Lofqvist, Holmkvist, Kaasa, Bogh 1-5 2-10 3: Lovaas, Persson, Nygren, Fossengen 3-3 5-13 4: Eide, Jansson, Holmkvist, Kaasa 3-3 8-16 |

have been closer, which is more than could be said for the racing,
though there was an exception in heat 12 when that ultimate stylist Gote
Nordin passed Curtis on the outside and Middleton on the inside in a
stunning move, and ensured that such a close match rightly finished
as a draw. 1: Middleton, B Jansson, Langfield, Nygren 4-2 2: Humphreys, T Jansson, Holmkvist, Monk 3-3 7-5 3: Holmkvist, Lofqvist, Mudge, Curtis 1-5 8-10 4: Boulger, T Jansson, Nordin, Monk 3-3 11-13 |

the tactic of having their strongest riders, Crump and Olsen, at
reserve, and the extra ride that this gave Crump enabled him to ride in
a last heat 5-1 to earn Australia a draw in a match in which they had
trailed for much of the time. 1: Langfield, Berg, Lovaas, Middleton 3-3 2: Olsen, Bogh, Monk, Crump 1-5 4-8 3: Eide, Mudge, Curtis, Kaasa 3-3 7-11 4: Bogh, Monk, Boulger, Fossengen R 3-3 10-14 5: Lovaas, Mudge, Berg, Curtis 2-4 12-18 |

| This was the decider -
the winners of this match would win the tournament. England had a
slender 4-point lead after six races, but then piled on the pressure to
win comfortably with three 5-1's in the last five heats, led by a second
successive maximum for Ray Wilson. 1: Middleton, E Boocock, Valentine, Ashby 4-2 2: Collins, Kentwell, Boulger, Haley 3-3 7-5 3: N Boocock, Mudge, Betts, Crump 2-4 9-9 4: Wilson, Collins, Langfield, Boulger 1-5 10-14 |
