Lindgren was unbeaten by opposition riders

Wolves enjoyed the perfect start to their Elite League speedway campaign with a 54-36 victory over the pre-season favourites Poole on Monday.

Freddie Lindgren was the star turn, finishing unbeaten by visiting riders at Monmore Green, scoring 14 points.

The only sour note was a hip injury suffered by Kenneth Hansen after a crash in heat 14.

Hansen was taken to hospital as a precaution after a collision with Pirates' Freddie Eriksson.

He may now be doubtful for Wednesday's return meeting at Poole, and for Thursday's Knockout Cup trip to Ipswich.

David Howe made a solid contribution for Wolves on the night with 13 points and Niels Kristian Iversen adding nine on his Elite League debut.
