Speedway: Peterborough get first away win 46-44 against Kings Lynn
They fought back from an early 8 point deficit
Peterborough's long wait for an away win finally came to an end with a terrific performance to win 46-44 against King's Lynn.
They took on A47 rivals Thursday (27th).
The Crendon Panthers fought back superbly from an early eight-point deficit and sealed the deal with a brilliant 5-1 in Heat 14 from Ben Cook and Rising Star Jordan Jenkins, whose team-riding had to be spot on to hold off the challenge of Stars racer Thomas Jorgensen.
Manager Rob Lyon said: “From Heat 3 onwards the boys got into it, made some good starts, got some confidence going and as a team they worked really well tonight – it was a good team performance.
“Jordan has had a couple of hiccups with niggling injuries this year, but generally speaking his form for both Oxford and Peterborough has been on the up.
“I think he is probably the most consistent Rising Star this year and he was the match-winner tonight, man of the match and deservedly so, he rode really well.”
The Panthers are next in action on Monday ahead of a home class with Wolverhampton.
