King’s Lynn’s proud unbeaten record at Perry Barr was shattered last night as Birmingham took the honours in a controversial and dramatic Premier League clash.

Injuries have taken their toll and there are a couple of changes for the team for the trip to Newcastle this afternoon. The crash on Friday has taken its toll on James Grieves and he misses out this afternoon and the heat 14 crash involving Lee Dicken likewise means that he cannot feature this afternoon either.

With so many other meetings taking place we are gratedul to Jason Lyons for taking on this booking late in the day and he fills in for James while current Snowball leader Robert McNeil will be the National League guest for Lee. Under the rules, as Lee is the lowest average rider we can only use a National League guest so we wish Robert well in that quest. The revised team is: Shane Parker (c), Josh Grajczonek, William Lawson, Sandi Conda r/r, Jason Lyons, Mitchell Davey, Robert McNeil

SWINDON Robins skipper Leigh Adams missed out on the semi-finals of the Nordic Grand Prix as Andreas Jonsson swept to victory in Vojens.

ALUN Rossiter insists Swindon Robins are exactly where they want to be as the race to the Elite League play-offs enters its final stages, the Abbey Stadium chief insisting simply: “It’s in our own
hands.’’ Indeed, the scenario that Robins and nearest rivals Wolverhampton Wolves face as they prepare for their final two matches of the campaign this week is that straightforward.

TEAM boss Trevor Swales is in realistic - rather than optimistic - mood ahead of a big Bank Holiday date for Panthers.

PANTHERS man Kenneth Bjerre took a major step towards securing his World Championship future with a third successive final appearance on Saturday night.
