Scott Nicholls was the meetings top scorer with 13+1
Ipswich Witches beat a Kim Jansson select side 51-44 in Thursday's benefit meeting at Foxhall Stadium.
A good crowd turned out to support the former Ipswich rider whose career was ended when he was paralysed from the waist down in a crash in August.
Scott Nicholls top scored for the home side with a paid 14 while Ollie Allen was the visitors best performer with a 10-point haul.
Australian Rory Schlein beat Nicholls to the Champion of the Evening award.
Kim Jansson's parents Jani and Zaida both travelled from Sweden for the meeting.
Zaida updated BBC Radio Suffolk on her son's progress: "He's a lot better now because he has a new goal, he sees a new future and has ended one phase of his life and started the next one.
"He is going to train in the hospital and then be home Friday, Saturday and Sunday and that will go on until Christmas.
"He is learning how to live in a wheelchair and how you can cope by yourself.
"I can't believe how many people turned up, it's remarkable so I'm so happy for him, he didn't know he was so popular here."
