Swindon Robins become champions after Wolverhampton victory

Swindon Robins put on an incredible display at last night's Speedway Grand Final, making them the champions of the Speedway Great Britain (SGB) Premiership.

Since their last title win back in 2012 the Robins' have been up against harsh pressure to secure another win, and last night saw them championing over Wolverhampton W47-42. Highlights came from Nick Morris and Jason Doyle harbouring unmatchable speeds on their final laps, who, after a shaky start from Swindon, secured the squad's victory. After their win Robins boss, Alun Rossiter, said: “It’s unbelievable. Make no bones about it, everybody wrote us off both at the start of the year, and also tonight when they said we had no chance at Wolves. “But what a team of riders we’ve had this year. They’ve had that something about them, and that’s why they’re champions. “It starts from Jason as captain, but also with Nick who has been absolutely outstanding this year. I had people telling me they didn’t want Nick in the team, but we stood our ground and he’s ridden superbly this year. “Adam is riding with a broken scaphoid, but what a start he gave us in Heat 1, and he was unfortunate with the crash in his last ride which could have made things a bit easier. “In Heat 15 I would have been expecting Rory to have been climbing all over Jason and Nick, but he wasn’t and it took the pressure off a bit – it was just a case of hoping for no engine failures, there was all sorts going through my head! “I’m so proud of all of them, including Zach (Wajtknecht) who was here again tonight. He was beating heat-leaders before he had that injury in what looked a simple slip-off. “It’s an emotional night, but I’m doing well, I’m holding it in! I do have to say a big thank-you to my family, and my wife Julie has been immense. It’s an amazing night for everyone at the club.” For further information, and results, click here.
