Speedway: King's Lynn suffer 57-33 defeat to Leicester
They were no match for the fired up Lions
King's Lynn were no match for a fired up Leicester - despite a strong performance from Robert Lambert - suffering a 57-33 defeat away.
The Lions were fired up after a heavy loss at Belle Vue earlier in the day and had no margin for error as they look to work their way back into the play-off places.
The Stars were missing three members of their top five, but did briefly lead thanks to a 5-1 in Heat 2 with some strong riding from Anders Rowe and Simon Lambert.
Despite this, Leicester gradually established control and struck a hat-trick of 5-1s between Heats 6 and 8, before a dramatic Heat 9 saw Justin Sedgmen shed a chain whilst leading.
The Lions did, however, ease further clear with 5-1s in Heats 12 and 14 as reserves Drew Kemp and Jake Allen recovered from their maximum concession in Heat 2 to score well for the rest of the meeting.
King's Lynn face their penultimate away match of the season at Sheffield on Thursday.
They will come up against former Lynn rider Chris Holder who has been announced as a deadline day signing by the Tigers.
