Eastbourne Eagles sealed their place in the semi-finals of speedway's Knockout cup despite a 52-40 reverse at Monmore Green stadium on Monday night.
Saturday night's 62-30 home triumph ensured a 102-82 aggregate win.
At Arlington, Eagles breezed to their biggest win of the season, the heat leader trio of Scott Nicholls, Lee Richardson and full maximum man Edward
Kennett all going through th
e card unbeaten by an opponent.
They received sterling support right throughout the order, the Sussex side between them racking up 13 out of 15 heat winners and suffering only one last place.
On the visitors' side of the pits, there was a far gloomier scenario to behold, rider replacement utilised in place of the injured Lindgren garnered a mere four points.
This was a far cry from that which the Swede would surely have tallied, following 11-point showings both in the 'A' fixture between the teams and also as a guest for the Ipswich Witches as they turned the Eagles over at the venue in the mid part of May.
In addition, of the two heat wins they enjoyed, Ales Dryml taking the honours in heat eight and then Nicolai Klindt winning out in the penultimate race, both of these came effectively against the run of play.
With each race remaining shared, they only served to briefly halt the Eastbourne onslaught rather than claw back any of the difference that might have existed at the time.
The Eagles certainly hit the ground running and they maintained that momentum throughout, amassing a 10-point advantage by the cessation of heat four, a 20-point lead by the end of the ninth and then of course put in place that massive 30-point plus difference by the close.
Eagles: Lee Richardson 14+1(5), Scott Nicholls 12+3(5), Edward Kennett 12(4), Lewis Bridger 9(4), Cameron Woodward 6+1(4), Simon Gustafsson 6+1(4), James Brundle 3+1(4) – 62.
Wolves: Niels-Kristian Iversen 12+1(6), David Howe 6(5), Ales Dryml 5(6), Christian Hefenbrock 4(4), Nicolai Klindt 3(5), Kenneth Hansen 0(4), rider replacement for Fredrik Lindgren – 30.
