Classy Hammers gain revenge

Fired-up Lakeside gained revenge over Coventry with a stunning 60-33 Elite League win on home shale.

Lewis Bridger enjoyed his best display of the season with 12+2 to top the score charts – but this was about a team effort

The Vortex Hammers had been well beaten 24-hours earlier when the sides met at Brandon but with club supremos Stuart Douglas and Jon Cook watching closely the riders responded in style.

It means they are still unbeaten at Purfleet and a play-off push remains a realistic target.

Vortex Hammers chief Cook said: “It was a tremendous performance, and we were absolutely delighted to see Lewis Kerr and Lewis Bridger in such fantastic form. It’s good to be busy, and we’re already looking forward to our meeting against Leicester on Friday where we’ll be looking to build on tonight’s great win.”
