The meeting was cut short after 10 heats due to rain - but that was enough for the 36-24 scoreline to stand - giving the home team three points, which sees them confirm their place in the league's top four.

And barring the wet conditions it was a good night all round as Sam Jensen and Mikkel B Andersen secured their first heat victories in the red and white - while reserve Connor Bailey was a hugely impressive winner in heat seven over the vastly experienced visiting pair of Lasse Bjerre and Ulrich Ostergaard.
