Speedway: King's Lynn bottom of the table after loss to Peterborough
It was their final team fixture of the season
King's Lynn wrapped up their season with a 41-49 loss to Peterborough.
Whilst the Stars might missed out on league points in their final team fixture of the season at the East of England Arena, they did provide a maximum scorer in an in-form Robert Lambert.
Lambert, who had changed his travel arrangements for this weekend’s Danish Grand Prix when the meeting was scheduled at short notice, raced to a six-ride full house, winning his first five rides and then allowing team-mate and former Peterborough rider Michael Palm Toft to take the flag in Heat 15.
Manager David Hoggart said: “It was an excellent meeting, the track was good and although for us it’s a pity that Peterborough won, I suppose you’d want them to win their last league match here.
“I felt we lost a couple of points that we could have gained which would have made it a little bit closer, but I’m not disappointed because we got over 40 points, and congratulations to the Panthers.
“I’ve been working the reserves so hard, both they and their machinery is tired but they did a great job for me tonight, and obviously Robert and his team are class.
“He’s got his family around him, expertise supporting him, and he’s been a breath of fresh air in terms of what he’s brought to us – and he’s brought everyone else on. He’s focused on winning his races but he’s also focused on winning for the team as well, and he’s given us more than we expected.”
