Wolves keep up pressure on Speedway Premiership leaders with win over Ipswich
Wolverhampton kept up the pressure on the leaders at the top of the Speedway Premiership after putting fellow high-flyers Ipswich to the sword at Monmore last night.
Skipper Sam Masters got the Parrys International Wolves off to a great start, taking the first heat as the Monmore men went on to wrap up a 49-41 win.
Wolves went into the clash in second place in the Premiership, just one spot ahead of the Witches but roared on by their home crowd, were able to open up a gap over their visitors from Suffolk.
Masters top scored for the home side, registering 12 points, backed up admirably by Rory Schlein who collected 10+1 with some thrilling rides to wow the Monmore faithful.
The victory means Wolves are breathing down the necks of leaders Belle Vue. The top two go head-to-head in what promises to be a thrilling bank holiday double-header next Monday.
