Bottesford grabbed their first piece of silverware with a fine win on the Academy League 3 Team Tournament
The Bullets negotiated their way into the final stages after running Westwood Wizards to a close 2nd in the pre final event at Wednesfield's Kingo Arena.
It was another success built on a solid team effort that saw them through the preliminary stage with all four of the team recording a race win.
Zoltan Stepukhin had a fairly quiet evening marred by a fall and a retirment when handily placed to restrict him to 7+1 from his 6 rides, though he got the team off to the perfect start by winning the opening race, with Westwood's Carlos Goody pipping Lewie Carr as Bottesford claimed an opening 4-2.
Ricky Ede and Hamish Hamilton repeated the feat in heat 2 as Ede headed home Hailsham's Ross Flooks and Hamilton passed Boris Pletshacher to grab the point.
Bottesford and Westwood always seemed to have the upper edge on proceedings and it was thus they finished locked on 39 points each. Westwood's Johnny Calder just getting the drop on the impressive Hamish Hamilton to secure the win in the run off as both teams progressed to the final.

Bottesford and Westwood then met the massively in-form Hull Angels foursome in the Final at Chantry Crusaders' Camelot Arena, where the Lincolnshire Bullets triumphed in a cracking encounter.
In fact Bottesford looked dead and buried after 7 races with Westwood and hull started the brighter, the Bullets were trailing by 8 and 10 points respectively at that early stage.
They then provided at least a race winner in every other race they were in , 8 in total, as they rallied superbly.
Zoltan Stepukhin claiming four race wins, Hamilton 3 and Ricky Ede the other, as the Bullets responded and also started to pack the minor placings and secure the spoils.
Team Manager Paul Duff was delighted with the win. "The Bullets have been in good form of late but it was a great effort by these four to comeback and win after a slow start in the final. It was nice to see Zoltan coming back into the scoring, he has found life a little tough after coming in on an 8 point assessed average, but he is only 19 and has huge potential, we have high hopes for him and also the rest of the septet. We are a young crew but, with a bit of luck. can continue this into our league meetings. We have a massive away fixture next up with our local rivals from Hull, who are in terrific form, particularly at home. In fact our league records are almost identical so it promises to be a great encounter on the North bank. For now though I'm going to enjoy this one."
