MATCH REPORT: Newport get off to winning start

Newport Cycle Speedway got their season off to a winning start by recording a 96 to 84 win at Leicester.

It was a very good work out for both teams who tracked strong line ups. Nearly appointed Welsh national team managers Mark Carmichael and Jack Harrold both recorded maximums on the sticky home track, with good support from all of the Welsh team.

Leicester also displayed some emerging talent in the shape of Matt Hartshorne and Mike Baldock.

The return match is this Sunday at Newport Sports Village, tapes up at 2pm.
