Hammers suffer on their travels

The Hammers crashed to a heavy 61-32 away defeat tonight against the Peterborough Panthers.  With five of the home riders all reaching double figures, only Peter Karlsson offered any major resistance for the Hammers, with the Swedish star continuing his rich vein of form scoring 16 points.

The Hammers will now look to regroup and retaliate away against the Birmingham Brummies this coming Wednesday,  in a crucial meeting as the race for the top four play-off positions intensifies.
