The Belle Vue Aces weathered a mid-meeting Sheffield Tigers storm to win the British Speedway Premiership title at Owlerton. The Tigers began the meeting with the daunting task of overhauling a 12-point deficit. However, after 10 heats, the deficit was down to two, but an exclusion for Tobiasz Musielak in Heat 11 re-set the momentum and the Aces won the title with one heat to spare.
