also improvement in our gating today and the lads are now starting to get dialed into their home track. “Mildenhall gave us a slight
scare early doors, but the boys fought back and by Heat 10 they made sure they were at least four points ahead. I’m very proud of all the lads and it was also great to see the injured Ben Hopwood here too helping the lads in the pits and still being part of the team.”
COVENTRY ace Dan Greenwood was in jubilant mood after his faultless 15 point maximum saw Storm snatch a dramatic 45-44 win at Rye House on Saturday. Greenwood said: “It’s a good feeling. I wasn’t expecting a maximum because they’ve got three good heat leaders, especially around here, and for the team to get the win and for me to get a max is really good. “Before I went out for Heat 15 I knew a 3-3 was what we needed,

I made the gate, got in front of Rob (Branford) and after the battle we’d had in the previous one I wanted to put one over on him. “Luckily I did that because Darryl
was at the back, it was a tough race but I got the win and thankfully we got enough points to win the match.”
CRADLEY boss Will Pottinger admits they were disappointed to leave Eastbourne empty handed following a brave effort on Saturday. However, he says their attentions
now turn to the second leg of their Knockout Cup tie with Stoke at Perry Barr on Wednesday.

www.speedwaystar.net Said Pottinger: “Of course we
are disappointed because a point was the minimum requirement we were looking for. “We were very close, but unfortunately we just fell short in the end. All the lads tried their hardest, but it just wasn’t our day and we didn’t quite manage to get a point. “We’ve pushed Eastbourne who
are a very strong side at home, and so we have to take the positives out of it and just look to move on. “We are looking forward to
Wednesday’s meeting against Stoke now, and hopefully we can ride well to make it through to the next round of the Cup.”
EASTBOURNE chairman Martin Dugard has heaped praise on Bradley Wilson-Dean following his spectacular introduction to British speedway. Wilson-Dean struck a 15-point maximum as he moved into the Eagles No.1 spot on Saturday, leading them to a fine victory over Cradley, and Dugard is thrilled with the early season form of the Kiwi hotshot. “We are getting exactly what we expected when we signed Brad. He is full living up to our expectations and more,” Dugard commented. “Brad is ‘box office’ wherever he
goes as he is a born racer who doesn’t give up until the chequered flag comes down. I can’t believe some of the moves he is pulling.”
KENT boss Chris Hunt was thrilled to see the Kings storm to a comprehensive 55-37 victory over King’s Lynn on Monday – their first of the National League campaign. He said: “It was another excellent all-round team performance. We certainly chose the right guest in Branford and I thank Rob for such a great effort. “The rest of the lads are just showing so much confidence in their riding around Central Park. And we are blessed with some outstanding entertainers too – it’s racing like this that will bring the crowds in and keep them coming
