Wolves 56 Peterborough 36

For there was just one note of alarm in this emphatic victory that wrapped up the club's unbeaten Monmore league campaign.

It came when Swedish ace Fredrik Lindgren, comfortably leading heat 13, hit a bump on turn two and was sent sprawling as his right boot came off the footrest.

Niels-Kristian Iversen was able to take avoiding action but Korneliussen, out on the wide line and fully absorbed in a cut and thrust battle with Peter Karlsson, swept round the turn with Lindgren plumb in his path.

Korneliussen, thankfully, saved the day last night with a lightning lay-down which drew spontaneous and grateful applause from the crowd and a heartfelt pat on the back from Lindgren once the Wolves ace had regained his feet.

The prospect of injury to Lindgren with the play-offs looming was enough to send a shudder through every home fan in the stadium. He tops the Elite League averages, is in the form of his life and, the tumble apart, was again unbeatable last night.

Mind you, every cog in the machine is vital and the apparatus was ticking over nicely against the Panthers with every home man paid for at least one win.

And if Lindgren gets better and better, then so too does Tai Woffinden. The 19-year-old has already had a brace of 12-point maximums but went one better for his first unbeaten five-ride haul at this level.

He had to overcome a real one-two-three-go start by Claus Vissing in heat five, powering round the Dane out of turn two, and then wound the throttle up to the stop seven races later to repel Henning Bager.

But he topped that in the final race, powering through on the inside of Iversen to join Lindgren at the front.

There was good news everywhere you chose to look as far as the Parrys International Wolves were concerned.

Nicolai Klindt opened with a dominant 5-1 in partnership with Lindgren against Iversen and posted the fastest time of the night as late as heat eight.

Klindt in full flow on the wide line is one of the great Monmore sights right now. However, he was a tad quick on the trigger in heat 10, not so much touching the tapes as ploughing through them.

With the evidence of Klindt's misdemeanour draped all over his forks, a far less savvy referee than Paul Carrington would have identified the perpetrator.

Even then Klindt, going off the 15-metre handicap, reeled in Vissing inside a lap and a half to round off a pacy night.

Elsewhere, there was a welcome paid eight from Adam Skornicki, just holding off the very willing Korneliussen in heat nine and sharing in a brace of 5-1s with Woffinden. The doughnut celebration indicated a happier 'Sqora' than has recently been the case.

Karlsson was mechanically troubled – "better now than the play-offs" was his phlegmatic response afterwards – but still quashed Kenneth Bjerre's double-point outing in heat seven.

Ty Proctor again underlined his value at reserve, while Chris Kerr will draw confidence from his heat 11 success over Ales Dryml.
