WOLVERHAMPTON gave it their best shot but missed out 51-39 at reigning champions Poole.

They held the upper hand in the early stages before letting it slip and yet still had an opportunity to claim a point in the last heat.
Boss Peter Adams said: "The boys gave it a go but it wasn't enough and there were a couple of very disappointing scores.
"We are going to have to start picking points up on the road pretty soon. We only have 12 opportunities in a season to do that and we have already lost at home."
Danish star Nicolai Klindt gave one of his best ever UK performances to keep Wolves at bay.

Wolves boss Peter Adams tried Masters as a tactical substitute for Nick Morris - who was having a tough night - in Heat 10. He was beaten for the first time, however, with Poole extending their lead to 10 Poole made sure of the win with another stunning Klindt win partnered by Brady Kurtz to put them 12 up with two to go.
Wolves still had some left in the tank with a brilliant swoop by Nick Morris in Heat 14 to join Luke Becker which gave them a shot at a bonus point in the final heat.
But Klindt delivered the goods for the reigning champions and team rode home with Josh Grajczonek - who didn't win a race but finished behind a team mate four times for a 5-1. Masters and Howarth were the victims this time.
Wolves were a couple of riders short of where they needed to be and need to start picking points up on the road soon.
