…was important. Darren was able to make the most of the final qualifying rounds to ensure he would start the main final from pole position. The main final saw Darren edging away from Jamie Clancy at the beginning, before a coupe of half mistakes that cost a few seconds each would bring Jamie back into range and kept him interested in trying to continue the fight.
