Aces see off title favourites

SPEEDWAY:

Despite losing Hans Andersen with a broken finger sustained in Saturday’s Grand Prix, Belle Vue clung to their faint play-off hopes by defeating league leaders Poole 48-44.

The four point margin means that Aces failed to take maximum points from the fixture and they remain dependent on Lakeside slipping up.

Peter Karlsson (14) led the way and received support from Rory Schlein (8+3) and Patrick Hougaard (8+1).
