Last Monday (18/4) it was very much mission accomplished as Kent SLYDE Kings pairing Luke Clifton and Danno Verge went through the card undefeated by opponents as the one-off side the Murston Monarchs ruled supreme over a side dubbed the Swale Greyhounds by 65-46 in the inaugural Provincial Challenge.
Top scoring for the Greyhounds was Maidstone-born Matt Saul.
Local amateur Dave Perkins had a night to remember in particular, recording two heat wins and a double figures tally for the Monarchs. But less happy times for 2015 Kent SLYDE Kings’ man Adam Sheppard, who had a nasty fall in his opening ride and had to withdraw with a damaged bike and a sore foot.
