Report

WOLVERHAMPTON struck a major blow in the Premiership play-off race with a 48-42 away win at Peterborough.

The victory moves the Monmore side up to third place and it means the Panthers in fifth are now ten points adrift of the top four.

Wolves trailed 22-14 at the East of England Arena but hit back with a remarkable run of four 5-1s in five races to turn the meeting in their favour.

The Panthers were heavily reliant on Chris Harris, who piled up 18+1 from seven riders, and reserve Benjamin Basso with 14, but Wolves were far more solid with Ryan Douglas (11+3) only losing a maximum in the last race, Luke Becker adding 10 and solid scoring coming throughout the order.

Manager Peter Adams said: “We haven’t got a brilliant record here over the years but certainly this year we’ve got the measure of them here which is very pleasing.

“We seem to be making a habit of being eight points behind in our away matches, we have been several times, but we’ve managed to get in front again tonight.

“It took us a race or two to get into our stride but once we did, the team was very solid and everyone was scoring heavily so it’s a very well-taken win.”

Panthers boss Rob Lyon said: “It wasn’t what we were looking for at all, especially after a great start and being eight points up, when I thought we’d end up with a relatively comfortable win.

“But as the track dried out and got a little slicker, the gates Wolves were on in mid-meeting certainly started to work well for them with four 5-1s pretty much on the bounce. They held on to that and never looked back so fair play to them, but it was tough.”

PETERBOROUGH 42: Chris Harris 18+1, Benjamin Basso 14, Ulrich Ostergaard 6, Scott Nicholls 3+2, Hans Andersen 1, Jordan Jenkins 0, Michael Palm Toft r/r.
WOLVERHAMPTON 48: Ryan Douglas 11+3, Luke Becker 10, Steve Worrall 7+1, Nick Morris 6+2, Sam Masters 5+1, Drew Kemp 5+1, Leon Flint 4.
