King's Lynn are celebrating following a 50-40 win against Oxford at the Adrian Flux Arena last night.

All seven of the team's riders won at least one race, and a dream debut for new signing Jan Kvech, who scored nine points.

He won two races, including victories over former World No.3 Maciej Janowski as well as Spires skipper Chris Harris.

Manager Rob Lyon said: “It was a great, solid performance, the same as last time against Sheffield really, and we’re getting a bit of momentum which is nice.

“We’ve got to keep that going now. We’ve got a lot of home meetings coming up, and they’re going to be important for us to make a challenge for the top four.

“I wouldn’t want to pick anyone out in particular because it was a full team performance from one to seven, but it was good to see Jan have a good debut, and also for Anders to get back to some early-season form around here.

“I’m pleased for all of the boys, proud of them, so we move on to the next one and see where we go from there.”

Next up for the Stars is a trip to Birmingham on Monday June 24, followed up by their KO Cup semi-final second leg at Sheffield on June 27.
