SHEFFIELD Pirtek Tigers' Premier League title hopes are still alive after a sensational end to Thursday's first leg of the Grand Final. Tigers trailed by one point against King's Lynn with four heats to go, but put together an amazing run of four consecutive 5-1s to leave themselves with a 15-point advantage. And the hero of the hour was 16-year-old Tai Woffinden who produced the performance of his young career so far with 14 points, beaten in only one of his five rides. The early stages of the meeting were nip-and-tuck but Tigers managed to move themselves eight points clear with a Woffinden/Ben Wilson 5-1 in a re-run Heat 8 after Chris Mills had fallen heavily. But the tie seemed to swing hugely back in Lynn's favour during the next two races, firstly in a calamitous Heat 9 which saw Emiliano Sanchez falling on the first lap, and then Kyle Legault suffer engine failure at the end of the third lap. When Batchelor and Kevin Doolan headed home Wilson and Ricky Ashworth in Heat 10, King's Lynn led on the night and Sheffield's hopes were dramatically receding. But the last four races, which took place in an atmosphere which became more and more electric, saw Tigers turn a one-point deficit into a 15-point lead thanks to two race wins from Woffinden and 5-1s from the Andre Compton/Ashworth combination. The second leg takes place at King's Lynn on Friday - but Tigers are unable to call up the spectacular Woffinden due to the Conference League Final at Plymouth, so Mark Thompson takes his place. Skipper Andre Compton said: "Several of the boys had a few mechanical problems early on but we got through it to finish well, and I am happy to be taking a 15-point lead to King's Lynn." Sheffield: Tai Woffinden 14, Andre Compton 12+1, Ricky Ashworth 9+2, Ben Wilson 6+1, Kyle Legault 5+1, Emiliano Sanchez 4+1, Paul Cooper 2+1. King's Lynn: Daniel Nermark 9, Kevin Doolan 6+2, Troy Batchelor 6, Tomas Topinka 6, Chris Mills 5, Trevor Harding 3+1, John Oliver 2+1.

SHEFFIELD Pirtek Tigers are facing up to the biggest two days in their history with the Premier League title up for grabs - starting tonight (Thursday). They face a rampant King's Lynn side in the first leg of the Premier League Grand Final with the return in Norfolk 24-hours later. Lynn are hot favourites to complete the treble having already won the Premier Trophy - ironically at the expense of Sheffield - and the Knockout Cup. But defiant Sheffield co-owner Neil Machin is backing his side to deliver the goods and fight all the way for the championship they last won in 2002. The is the first time the title has been decided via the play-off system and Lynn finished top of the regular league standings, nine-points clear of runners-up Sheffield. Said Machin: "I wouldn't swap my top five for any other top five in the league and if we can all perform like we know we can, then anything can happen." It promises to be a night of tension, thrills and spills and there is no better way for the curtain to fall on another memorable season of high-speed racing at the magnificent Owlerton Stadium venue. TIGERS: Ricky Ashworth, Ben Wilson, Emiliano Sanchez, Kyle Legault, Andre Compton, Tai Woffinden, Paul Cooper. KING'S LYNN: Daniel Nermark, Trevor Harding, Troy Batchelor, Kevin Doolan, Tomas Topinka, Chris Mills, John Oliver.

SHEFFIELD Pirtek Tigers fans have no excuse to miss the second leg of their Grand Final tie at King's Lynn next Friday, October 27. That's because Sheffield Window Centre, loyal supporters of the club, will meet the cost of coach travel to the Norfolk Arena - but organisers need a clear indication of the numbers.
