LEICESTER returned to winning ways with a 53-37 victory over Wolverhampton in Saturday’s Elite League fixture at the Jordan Road Surfacing Stadium.
The Lions put a tough month behind them with an impressive all-round display headed by a five-ride paid maximum from skipper Jason Doyle.
Wolves guest Jason Garrity starred at reserve with 13 points but No.1 Freddie Lindgren was reduced to a score of just two.
Leicester boss Norrie Allan said: “We really needed this result and it was a real team performance from one-to-seven, and the three guests did us proud.
“At the end of such a difficult month where we have had three riders leave the club it is long overdue for us to have some good fortune. Our fans have been brilliant throughout this spell and we now have a quiet spell when we can look at the various options that are available to complete the team before our next fixture.”
Wolves promoter Chris Van Straaten said: “You only have to look at the programme and see that your No.1 has only picked up two points - the chances are you're going to have struggled.
“That's no overall criticism of Freddie though, because all riders have off nights. He always gives it his best, he always works hard and he just can't put his finger on what went wrong for him tonight. This is a relentless format and if you've already got one or two riders missing and one or two others have off nights then your hands are always going to be tied.”
