KING’S Lynn’s Rising Star Jack Thomas faces a period on the sidelines after crashing out at the Adrian Flux Arena on Thursday.

Thomas came to grief in Heat 4 of the Minors & Brady Stars’ 47-43 defeat to Ipswich, and although he was able to walk off the track he went to hospital for x-rays on his wrists.

He said: “Thanks to everyone for the messages, I’m back home with two broken wrists.

“I’ve got to go back tomorrow (Friday) and see about having them screwed back together, so it’s not the best of nights.”

The Stars are back in action as a team on June 23 when they face Sheffield at home, but prior to that they compete in Round 2 of the Premiership Pairs at Ipswich next Thursday (June 16).
