Wolverhampton Wolves edged out in thriller at Swindon
Wolverhampton were beaten in a 45-44 thriller at Swindon.
They missed out on victory in a last heat decider but fought back from 10 behind to secure a consolation league point.
Wolves found themselves eight points down with four races gone after conceding two early 5-1s. Freddie Lindgren and guest Danny King were out-gated in the first and couldn’t find a way past Swindon guest No.1 Troy Batchelor and Adam Ellis.
Consecutive shared heats followed, with Wolves guest reserve Paul Starke taking the chequered flag in the second. But when Sam Masters was forced to take avoiding action in bend one in the fourth, there was little else he could do but watch the Swindon pairing pull clear.
