details from Panthers website: a Panthers select side turn up for the Monmore party (it didn't say that, that bit was me)!

Wolverhampton Parry’s International Wolves v
Peterborough Readypower Panthers
Monday 26th October – Midland League

Peterborough completes their season with a daunting
Midland League trip to Monmore Green on Monday to face
the Elite League Champions Wolverhampton.

Having lost at home to the Wolves on the 8th October the
Panthers appear to be second favourites to clinch this
year’s Midland Championship but are intending to do
their best and improve on this years previous two league
results there.

The Panthers probems don't just end there however as
although Wolverhampton are at full strength the Panthers
are missing Kenneth. Bjerre, Ales Dryml and the recently
injured Henning Bager.

Bjerre is due to have a full medical check on the leg he
broke last year whilst Dryml is also committed with
medical checks in the Czech Republic.

Panthers will again use Troy Batchelor to replace
Bjerre, the young Aussie impressed the management the
last time he rode for the Panthers at Coventry and have
brought Lakeside,s Stuart Robson in to ride at reserve
in place of Bager.

Rider replacement will be used to cover for the missing
Ales Dryml but Kenneth Hansen and Claus Vissing are back
from their USA trip and are included in the Panthers 1
to 7.

Team Manager Trevor Swales said: "Whilst this is our
final meeting for 2009 it is still a meeting that we
will be trying very hard to win. We accept that the odds
are against us faceing the 2009 league champions who
have not lost at home this season and indeed only droped
1 point in there home meetings we will endevour to win
this competition,It would be gret to finish the season
with a big win and this is our final chance to reward
the supporters for there loyalty to usWhilst there will
be no pressure on us as many expect the result to go in
Wolves direction,it`s up to us to turn the form book
upside down. Nothing less than a win will be good enough
as we lost the home leg in a meeting that ended at heat
12 with the loss of Henning for the rest of the season.
We all wish Henning a full and quick recovery." :

Owner Rick Frost said: "This is our last meeting of the
season and what better opponents than the 2009 champions
to end our season.
:We need the four points to win the Midland League and
why not .Surely they must all be tired out by now from
their recent exertions! Anyway a safe evenings racing to
all the riders and a well earned rest until next season.
A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all”.

[glow=red,2,300]Wolverhampton 58, Panthers 36 - Panthers savaged by the Wolves[/glow]

27 October 2009 By Mark Plummer - P'Boro ET

THIS meeting was the speedway equivalent of the dregs at the bottom of a coffee cup.

And these leftovers at the end of a long, drawn-out season weren't exactly inspiring as the final bell tolled on a campaign that lost virtually all interest for the city side around two months ago.

Panthers (well their four regular riders and two ADVERTISEMENTguests that took part in this climax clash) were nothing more than awkward guests at Monmore Green on a night when Wolverhampton were officially presented with their Elite League title – by Wolves football manager Mick McCarthy no less.

Adding the far-less-prestigious Midland League crown to their collection never looked in doubt but will doubtless live nowhere near as long in the memory.

Wolverhampton have had one hand on this particular honour since winning at the Showground two-and-a-half weeks ago on a night when the majority of thoughts were on badly injured Panthers rider Henning Bager rather than a 38-34 away success.

That meant a smooth night on their own shale would seal the spoils, something that was only ever going to be a formality for a team that is unbeaten and nigh on untouchable around their tight Black Country turns.

However, Panthers did – to their credit - manage to keep their arrears respectable for the majority of proceedings despite conceding two 4-2s and a 5-1 maximum inside the opening four heats.

A fine opening lap effort from skipper Niels Kristian Iversen (a man more than likely still on a high after helping his Zielona Gora team win the Polish Ekstraliga title the previous day) earned a first and last heat win for the city in the fifth instalment.

By heat seven team manager Trevor Swales was able to deploy a rider in search of double points and guest Troy Batchelor duly followed home Wolverhampton great Peter Karlsson as the race ended in a 5-3 to the visitors.

A nasty smash involving Claus Vissing and Adam Skornicki marred the eighth heat – the Wolverhampton man requiring medical attention after his arm became trapped in the Dane's back wheel.

Karlsson then thwarted a second tactical ride by keeping Iversen at bay in heat 11 before the hosts eased clear during the closing stages with three maximums in the final four races – rampant reserve Ty Proctor taking the flag in two of them to complete a quite splendid 17+1 point paid full house.

For he and his team-mates it is time to sit back, savour a job well done and celebrate.

Panthers should already on their way back to the drawing board to ensure 2010 succeeds where 2009 has failed.

SKORNICKI RETURNS HOME FOR TREATMENT

Wednesday October 28, 2009
ELITE League title winner Adam Skornicki has returned home to Poland for an exploratory operation on his knee.

Skornicki was involved in a horror crash during Wolverhampton’s Midland League clash with Peterborough.

Promoter Chris Van Straaten said: “It seems to be ligament damage in his knee so they need to establish whether it needs major surgery and he also dislocated his shoulder in the same incident.”
