Close call:

Troy Batchelor seizes a point

for the Robins, after a gruelling

final heat with Leigh Adams

It was a close call for Rossiter's speedway stars last night, as they managed to secure a draw at the Abbey Stadium following on from a 50-43 away win at Ipswich on Monday night.

After tense heats throughout the evening, the Swindon Robins managed to pull back 5-1 in the last heat.

Missing from the Robins side was Mads Korneliussen, who was nursing heavy bruising from a guest appearance for Poole the previous evening.

And although the side struggled in Mads' absence, Batchelor and Adams managed to pull back and rescue a precious league point.
