Report

WOLVERHAMPTON got back to winning ways with a well worked 50-40 victory over Premiership newcomers Sheffield at Monmore.

It was a solid all-round team performance by Peter Adams’ men who all played their part to pull well clear with a late rally as Sheffield ran out of riders.

Both sides were without their captains – Rory Schlein and Kyle Howarth – due to injury but Josh Bates was also withdrawn for the Tigers after a Heat 4 crash.

Sam Masters scored 11+1 for Wolves with Ryan Douglas adding 10. Troy Batchelor (12+1) led the way for the Tigers with Adam Ellis notching 10 despite two falls.

Wolves boss Peter Adams said: “I’m delighted with the result because Sheffield are a very good side.

“We knew it would be tough and they stayed with us for the most part but it’s another three points on the board and I’m pleased with that.”

Batchelor said: “Things are getting better for me and I’m starting to get more into it. It was tough out there but I went well and I enjoyed it.

“It’s a shame we couldn’t win and we had a few crashes, but we dug deep and worked hard. I’m looking forward to more meetings soon.”
