The Swindon Robins moved top of the Sky Sports Elite League with a 48-42 success over the Wolverhampton Wolves at Monmore Green.

Leigh Adams was the Robins' hero with four heat wins in a 14-point haul, although the meeting went right down to the wire.

Wolves' duo Freddie Lindgren (9) and Ales Dryml (8) had won four of the first 10 heats as the hosts opened and then maintained a slim advantage.

But the momentum turned in heat 13 when Adams' third victory brought the Robins level at 39-39.

James Wright followed up by triumphing in the next to put Swindon ahead for the first time at 43-41 entering the final instalment of the evening.

And heat 15 saw Lindgren take a tumble, in the process taking out team-mate Edward Kennet (10+1), to hand the points to the visitors.

"It was a great team effort, everyone contributed," Adams told Sky Sports.

"A win's a win and we'll take the points however they come."

The result puts Swindon one point clear of the Lakeside Hammers at the top of the Elite League, while Wolverhampton - who have now lost four times at home - are second bottom.

Meanwhile, Lakeside also earned an away success with a 48-42 triumph at the Belle Vue Aces.

Andreas Jonsson (12) and Joonas Kylmakorpi (12+1) led the way for the Hammers, while the Aces' ace Jason Crump (15) won five out of five but received little support from the rest of his team.
