Eastbourne moved to within a point of fifth place after victory over bottom-of-the-table Ipswich.

Whilst a play-off bid is out of reach, Eastbourne are looking to finish the season on a high.

Slovenian star Matej Zagar showed excellent form as he romped to a 15-point maximum.

Joonas Kylmakorpi (10+1) and Cameron Woodward (9+1) also provided excellent back-up.

Ipswich did provide some decent resistance with Robert Miskowiak (10), Scott Nicholls (9) and Danny King (9) all scoring well.

But Ipswich are already resigned to bottom place and a relegation play-off with the Premier League champions.

Bonus

Second-placed Wolverhampton gained a bonus point at Swindon despite going down 48-45 at the Abbey Stadium.

Simon Stead (11) and Grzegorz Zengota (10+1) hit double figures for Swindon, as legendary skipper Leigh Adams only grabbed nine points.

Wolverhampton suffered a number of injuries as both Freddie Lindgren and Ty Proctor went down to an early crash.

But Freddie's brother Ludvig stepped up to the mark as from reserve he grabbed 13+3 to top-score, whilst Tai Woffinden also scored well to help the reigning champions secure a bonus point.

"It was a brilliant result, Ludvig was sensational," said Wolves boss Peter Adams.

"It's one of those results where you feel really satisfied and hopefully there is nothing long term in terms of Freddie and Ty and their injuries."
