Colchester Stars travelled to race East London CSC (West Ham) with high hopes of gaining their second ever away win, and they came mighty close finally going down 94-90.
After heat eight Stars were trailing by four points but Dave Beeby and Rick Burling slammed in a maximum 7-3 win in heat nine to bring them level, and Liam Spurgeon and Jay Harnett soon followed with a 6-4 putting stars in the lead.
However East London fought back, and with one heat left, were four points up. Stars needed a maximum in the last heat but this was drawn 5-5, but it was undoubtedly one of Stars best ever performances.
Scorers: Rick Burling 16, Liam Spurgeon 14, Dave Beeby 14, Gareth Johnson 14, Sam Sawyer 7, Darren Windle 7, Jay Harnett 7, Stuart King 7, Matt Burling 4.
