This week in continued from previous spread

KING’S LYNN have been hit by serious injury to skipper Rory Schlein, who has undergone a lengthy operation on his back after a crash in Poland on Sunday. The surgery is reported to have
been successful but with Kenneth Bjerre also out with a hand injury the Stars went down to a 33-57 defeat at Coventry on Bank Holiday Monday.
LAKESIDE boss Neil Vatcher has pinpointed the absence of No.1 Andreas Jonsson as a big reason for the Hammers’ recent downturn in form. Vatcher told Speedway Star: “I could go on and list a whole catalogue of reasons as to why this season hasn’t worked out for us as we had planned at this stage, but we can’t allow the situation to continue. “The major problem has been
the injury to Jonsson which has deprived us of a genuine No.1 rider.”

LEICESTER have been rocked by the news that recent signing Lewis Bridger has quit the sport again after just one match with the club. Lions promoter David Hemsley
said: “Utter disbelief is the only way I can describe the way I felt (on Monday). As a club we had gone that extra mile to pave the way for Lewis to return to the sport with equipment and practice facilities all placed at his disposal. “We realised that it would take
him a meeting or two to get race fit but never expected this to happen. “It is such a shame that such a talented British rider is lost to the sport again, and no doubt there was a great deal of soul searching that Lewis went through to arrive

at his decision and we wish him well in whatever he decides to do in the future.”
POOLE skipper Maciej Janowski made a successful return to Pirates colours after a knee injury with a maximum in the win at Leicester on Monday.
Manager Neil Middleditch told Speedway Star: “Magic has been very much missed. I’m not going to say we’d be any better off in the league if he’d been riding, but we’ve done well to get through the injury period we’ve had with boys like Davey Watt, Kyle Newman and Magic all missing meetings.”
SWINDON boss Alun Rossiter insists there should be a positive mood at the Abbey Stadium, with a fifth successive home win over Leicester keeping the Robins firmly in the top-four battle.
Rossiter said: “The boys all did
their jobs, and I can’t really understand some of the negativity. A few people need to have more belief in the riders. “Peter (Kildemand) was out, but
that doesn’t mean it was the end of the world, and the rider replacement worked for us. I thought Zengi (Grzegorz Zengota) was fantastic, and that’s why we brought him back to the club.”
WOLVERHAMPTON were convincing Bank Holiday Monday winners over Lakeside, running up a 60-33 victory over a visiting side who were hit by injuries and unavailability at Monmore Green. Wolves boss Peter Adams said:
“It was a good win – the opposition was weakened, obviously, and so were we to an extent but it was important for us to get back on the winning trail and we did just that. “I don’t think you can take a lot

from this as it was a seriously weakened Lakeside team, so we won’t get ahead of ourselves, but we got the three points and that’s what matters.”
