In the final Fours League match, A&T started the day in 4th place, half a match point behind Heckmondwike, so needed to beat the Yorkshire side to finish in 3rd place. Heckmondwike were 1 point ahead of A&T after heat 12, but A&T fought back to move into a 2 points lead after heat 18 and this lead was maintained at heat 24, before entering the final round of races. The match went to the last race and Mick Knowles took Heckmondwike's only race win of the match in heat 30, to ensure that Heckmondwike pipped A&T by one point, to take 3rd place on the day and in the overall series, with A&T 4th on both counts. Reece Pollitt won three races for A&T, with Gareth Paine scoring a well earned 10 points.

Bury Comets won the match, to draw level on match points with Stockport, but Stockport held on to take the title, beating Bury by 16 race points.
