Polish star Jaroslaw Hampel stepped up his return from injury with a stunning 12 paid 15-point maximum to inspire Vetlanda into the Swedish Elitserien play-off final.

Hampel was unstoppable as his table-topping side triumphed 58-32 and 98-82 on aggregate.

GP Challenge finalist Leon Madsen backed up the Lodz-born man on 12 paid 13, while Tomas H Jonasson returned to the side in place of Martin Vaculik and accrued 10 paid 11 at reserve.

SGP racer Jason Crump added eight paid nine, while Emil Sayfutdinov scored seven paid nine.

Danish champion Niels-Kristian Iversen was Indians’ Mr Dependable yet again on 13 points. But Swedish racer Antonio Lindback struggled to live up to his blistering recent form, scoring just two points. His Grand Prix rival Hans Andersen managed only one.

Vetlanda meet the winners of tomorrow night’s semi-final tie between Piraterna and Dackarna. The Pirates lead 46-44 from the first leg in Malilla.
