Top scorer for the visitors was Kyle Legault who combined a six-point tactical win with an exclusion for a fall.
WASPS: Kyle Legault 14, Justin Sedgmen 10+2, Jason Doyle 7, Robin Aspegren 5, Todd Kurtz 3+2, Mark Jones 3+1, rider replacement for Leigh Lanham.

He will be back with his team-mates at Newport Speedway on Saturday night when the Wasps face the Sheffield Tigers in a Premier League fixture with tapes up from 7pm.
