Speedway: Stars secure first league win of the season
They defeated Wolverhampton
Polish star Krzysztof Kasprzak raced to a 15-point maximum on his home debut as King’s Lynn defeated Wolverhampton 49-41 to secure their first league win of the season.
It's a step in the right direction for the Stars, following last week’s heavy defeats at Monmore and Sheffield.
Stars manager Alex Brady said: “It was a fantastic night, and for me it was a real team performance in which everyone chipped in.
“Obviously KK deserves the plaudits and rightly so he’ll get them, and I’m delighted for him especially.
"Tonight is the beginning of our season"
“The strength in depth approach is what we wanted to do, and whilst I appreciate there’s some teams out there with some big-name riders, let’s not forget that KK was No.2 in the World not too many years ago, and performances like that shows you why.
“I’m confident in what we’ve got, and confident that tonight is the beginning of our season. I believe last week were our two toughest fixtures, we went to Wolverhampton and Sheffield with very minimal track time and it wasn’t enough.
“But back here, with home comforts, it feels much more like the season has begun. Last week is a write-off, and we go from here.”
The Stars now have a clear week before hosting Sheffield on Monday April 24 in the second leg of their KO Cup tie.
They'll then head to Leicester on April 27.
