Elite League title contenders Wednesfield Aces pulled off a 23 point victory over Coventry Sabres on Sunday to quash any chances the Sabres had of pulling off a late challenge for the championship.
The Sabres entered the meeting on the back of their third Elite League win of the season over Poole – leaving their title chances hanging by a thread with results having to go their way elsewhere in order for a look-in at the title.
However any such miracles were denied as the Wolverhampton-based outfit raced to a 110-87 victory.
A sizeable crowd watched the Aces take a step closer to Elite League glory, and they signalled their intent early on with three race advantages in the opening five heats.
