Seemond Stephens could only score seven points from his four rides

Plymouth Devils' disappointing end to the season continued after they went down 50-39 in the first leg of their Conference League Cup final at Boston.

Despite trailing by just a single point with three heats to go Boston pulled out two maximum scores in the next two heats to increase their lead.

Tom Brown top-scored for Plymouth, who were still reeling from their defeat in the play-offs, with 10 points.

The second leg is at St Boniface Arena on Friday, 24 October at 1930 BST.
