Belle Vue Aces saved themselves from the Elite League relegation race-off after claiming a 50-40 win over Coventry Bees.
The Bees, who themselves only just finished ahead of the bottom-two saw both Chris Harris and Hans Andersen forced out of the meeting midway through - which ended their hopes of success.
Belle Vue were led home by Joe Screen (12) and Jason Crump (11+) as they secured the two points which moved them above Peterborough Panthers - who will now face Wolverhampton in the race-off.
Coventry used Premier League guest Joe Haines and he showed his outstanding potential by top-scoring with 14.
Coventry still have the Craven Shield final with Lakeside Hammers to forward to.
