SPEEDWAY: Ipswich’s miserable form continued as they slumped to a fourth consecutive defeat after going down 41-49 at home to Belle Vue on Thursday night.

Both teams have now confirmed their places in the end of season play-offs, alongside defending champions Sheffield and Leicester.

In the Premiership’s other midweek fixture, substitute Richard Lawson scored 13 points as Oxford led from the first tape to beat King’s Lynn 48-42.
