Last updated 15th Sep 2023
Peterborough Panthers have won their last fixture at the East of England Arena 49-41 against Kings Lynn.
The last league match at the East of England Arena saw the Crendon Panthers make it six home wins in succession at the end of the season to move on to 20 points in the final league standings.
The Stars provided spirited opposition with No.1 Robert Lambert giving a truly World class performance on his way to a six-ride paid maximum.
Peterborough manager Rob Lyon said: “The track was a bit of a leveller tonight, it was a lot slicker than Monday, and obviously with the influence of Robert we knew it would be a tougher meeting.
“But the boys pulled through again and we got the win, which is the main thing, and there was good racing to boot.
“Credit to the fans for sticking by the club and the team this year, and walking through the grandstand afterwards it was almost like we were in the play-offs because in the last few weeks there’s been such a feel-good factor for everyone.
“It’s a good way to finish the season, and we’ve got to take as many positives as we can out of it.”
