Risager has scored a paid 18 points in his two meetings for Swindon

Swindon moved closer to securing top place in the Elite League, with a 48-42 win at Ipswich on Thursday night.

That victory, coupled with title rivals Wolverhampton losing at Coventry, gives the Robins a one-point lead with just two meetings left to ride.

Swindon manager Alun Rossiter told BBC Wiltshire new signing Morten Risager was the star of the show with a paid 12 points from reserve.

"I didn't expect him to get double figures, he's just done really well."

"It was always going to be tight, they've strengthened up and are a lot better now, but it was a good all-round team performance." he added.

Swindon face Poole at the Abbey Stadium on Monday, before ending their campaign at home to Wolverhampton on Thursday.

Two wins would secure the Robins first place, and their choice of opponents in the opening round of the four team play-off.

Ipswich - Scott Nicholls 13, Troy Batchelor 5+1, Daniel King 8+1, Robert Miskowiak 10, Dawid Stachyra 4+2, Carl Wilkinson 2+1

Swindon - Leigh Adams 8+1, Ryan Fisher 5, Simon Stead 6+1, Travis McGowan 6, Matej Zagar 11, Paul Hurry 2+1, Morten Risager 10+2
