No luck for Hammers in Wiltshire

The Lakeside Hammers return empty handed from Wiltshire after losing 53-37 against the Swindon Robins.

Despite being in with a shout of a potential away point at Heat 10, when trailing by only six points, The Robins dominated three out of the remaining five heats, including two 5-1’s in heats 14 & 15.  For the Hammers, heat leaders Davey Watt & Peter Karlsson both scored 9, whilst Kauko Nieminen scored 7 paid 9 at reserve.

The focus now returns back to the Raceway for Friday’s Elite League fixture against the Birmingham Brummies, which will see the home debut of former Hammer of the Year,  Jonas Davidsson.
