King's Lynn 52, Rye House 41
King's Lynn's big guns fired to repel a battling Rye House in their Premier Trophy opener at the Norfolk Arena.
Kevin Doolan and Tomas Topinka secured the victory in a heavyweight heat 13 before Joe Haines applied the gloss after the hosts had struggled on the difficult track conditions.
Haines was the stand-out performer in the early sparring but Ricky Wallace endured another tough outing for his new club.
The young Aussie was pulled out of his final programmed ride following a heat 11 tumble but was fit to return for a couple of second half tours after the main event.
Stars: Topinka 9+2, Eklof 7, Smith 5, Haines 10+1, Doolan 14, Wallace 0, Wortmann 7+1.
Rockets: Neath 6+1, Ekberg 5+1, Frampton 10, Bowen 1+1, Sundstrom 13, Shields 1+1, Hughes 5.
