Plymouth Devils...57 King's Lynn...37

PLYMOUTH Devils produced the ultimate team performance to defeat King's Lynn in Friday night's National League clash at the St Boniface Arena.

The city outfit, who have now won each of their three home meetings this season, dominated from start to finish.

They opened up the match with five successive 5-1 maximums to lead 25-5 and from there, they simply coasted to victory.

King's Lynn closed the gap to 38-21 after nine heats thanks to tactical rides for Adam Allott and Darren Mallett, who finished second and first, resepectively.

But the Devils recorded 4-2, 5-1 and 5-1 victories in heats 10, 11 and 12, respectively, to strecteh their lead to 52-25.

Heat 13 saw both Plymouth riders, Seemond Stephens and Mark Simmonds, excluded.

That left Mallett and guest Byron Bekker, first and second, free to coast to a 5-0 race win.

King's Lynn's Allott ended the meeting with two race victories in heats 14 and 15, to ensure he top scored for his side with 13 points.

But it was not enough to deny the Devils – Kyle Hughes top scored with 12 points (plus one bonus) and set the fastest time of the night – their third victory of the season.

The win and the three points gained from it means Plymouth leapfrog the Isle of Wight into fifth position in the standings – one place outside of the play-offs.
