EASTBOURNE will take just a two point lead back to Coventry for the second leg of their Knockout Cup semi-final after a 46-44 win at Arlington.

The Bees trailed by eight points with four heats to go but came back into contention with reserve Martin Smolinski producing several important rides.

Bees co-boss Peter Oakes said: ''It''s now in our hands to lose, and I''m confident we won''t do that at Brandon.''

PETER Karlsson will make a late decision on his fitness ahead of Wolverhampton''s crucial home clash with Belle Vue on Monday.

Karlsson suffered knee and hand injuries in a crash in Sweden last week but is desperate to lead Wolves in their bid to make the play-offs.

Promoter Chris Van Straaten said: ''The knee is the main problem and we''ll just have to see what the weekend brings.''
