LEIGH Adams hailed his side of Robins battlers' after a third away win of the season - but admits they should be making life easier for themselves.

Adams anchored Swindon's latest success on the road as he and Troy Batchelor were awarded a 5-1 in heat 15 as Wolves' Fredrik Lindgren and Edward Kennett hit the deck.

But the Blunsdon skipper reckons his men are good enough to avoid the need for late heroics, such as star reserve James Wright's match-turning heat 14 victory at Monmore Green.

Wright's triumph, plus Travis McGowan's third place, took the visitors into the lead for the first time before Adams and Batchelor rubber-stamped the win.

And the Australian skipper said: "It was a win that was needed, especially losing at home in the last meeting.

"We just battled away. We didn't really pull away that much, but we got on top of them in the end and that was the main thing.

"It would be nice to stitch it up earlier - we've got the team to do it but there are a couple of guys not riding with confidence.

"Three points is three points and we'll take the win we've got - but with the team we've got we could be doing it a lot easier.

"There is a long way to go, but these away wins are big-time.

"If we can get a couple more of them we'll be happy.'' Struggling reserve Theo Pijper's zero, plus a lack of heavy scoring from Travis McGowan and the newly-promoted Seb Alden meant the nerves' of Robins' fans were frayed right up until the latter stages.

Alden (paid two) and McGowan (paid four) did weigh in at crucial moments, but the heavier scoring happened elsewhere.

There was nothing to separate the two sides throughout, the six-point winning margin being the largest gap all night.

Tricky track conditions - the threat of rain was ever-present - caused early problems, especially for the visitors who failed to win a heat until Batchelor and Wright brought home a 4-2 in the fourth.

Adams, surprisingly beaten by Ales Dryml and needing a breathtaking late dive to pip Lindgren for second place in the first race was inevitably peerless thereafter.

Indeed the Robins' skipper blitzed the track record in his second ride in five, but Wolves, with Lindgren and guest Kennett in good form, held leads which varied between two and four points by the time they reached the halfway point.

Batchelor's Aussie aggression brought him paid 12 and Mads Korneliussen's paid nine was similarly gritty, but the display of fellow reserve Wright - revitalised after his superb finish in last week's British Final - stood out.

The Cheshire youngster showed all his determination to shrug off a puncture in his second ride, nursing the bike around nearly three laps to earn a single point.

And he suffered another setback in 11 as Adams narrowly failed to team-ride him to a 5-1, Wright running wide to allow David Howe in to second to preserve a two-point cushion for the home side.

But the British ace's reward came in 14, after teammates Adams and Batchelor had levelled the match at 39-39 with a 4-2 in the star-studded 13th.

Wright was outgated by Christian Hefenbrock, but dived under his rival on lap two, McGowan's third place allowing Swindon into the lead for the first time.

That meant Adams simply needed to win the final race, but he and Batchelor blitzed clear of Lindgren and Kennett, the former falling and forcing the latter to hit the shale to ensure an awarded heat confirmed Robins' triumph.
