Hellingly Lions roared to their first win of the season when they beat Norwich 96-78 in a bad-tempered match.

There were four exclusions, three of them for unfair riding.

Lions were four points up going into the interval after a 7-3 from Eddie Ridley and Jamie Cheshire, who later went on to score his first race win.

Gary Walder dropped just two points, having missed the previous week's match.

Norwich were dealt a blow in the second half when Alan Brown sustained a leg injury.

David Boniface, son of for-mer rider Alan, went away from the Lower Dicker circuit with a creditable five points.

Scorers: Eddie Ridley 19, Mar-tyn Hollebon 16, Zac Parsons 15, Gary Walder 14, Barrie Geer 12, Jamie Cheshire 8, David Boniface 5, Andrew Long 4, Neil Hollebon 3.
