STOKE Easy Rider Potters team manager John Woolridge labelled his side a ‘disgrace’
as the Potters were thumped out of sight by league leaders King’s Lynn as the Stars romped to a 69-23 victory over the Potters at the Norfolk Arena last night.

 Woolridge said “It was a shocking performance and embarrassing for Stoke Speedway
as a whole, it was nothing short of being a disgrace and that is not acceptable and I’d
like to apologise to the supporters for such a shocking performance. “Only Lee (Complin) and guest Darren (Mallett) came out with any pride from tonight.”

The Potters were hit right from the off as they lost Dane Klaus Jakobsen to a back injury after he looped his bike and fell heavily on the parade lap. Jakobsen was taken to hospital as a precaution after complaining of lower back pain.

Once the meeting began the Potters were hit with eleven five one maximum heat
reverses with the Potters providing just one heat winner out of the fifteen races and only one heat advantage which both came in the final race as Lee Complin took victory with Jason Bunyan taking third for a Stoke 4-2.

Skipper Complin was also in the only drawn race of the evening also as he took second place as a tactical ride in heat ten as he managed to split the Stars pairing of Ty Proctor and Linus Eklof for a drawn 4-4 heat.

 Three King’s Lynn riders were unbeaten by a Stoke rider as they all collected paid maximums.

Scorers : King’s Lynn 69: Tomas Topinka 13+1, Kozza Smith 11+1, Ty Proctor 11+1, Jan Graversen 10+2, Emiliano Sanchez 10+2, Chris Schramm 8+2, Linus Eklof 6+2
