COVENTRY moved back to level on points with Elite League leaders Poole after overcoming Leicester 51-39 at Brandon.
The Bees had to work for their win which was only secured in Heat 14, as Lions duo Jason Doyle and Grzegorz Walasek reeled off a series of race wins.
Home reserves Jason Garrity and guest Josh Bates out-scored their counterparts 16-3 whilst Doyle and Walasek accounted for 23 of the Lions’ points.
Coventry promoter Mick Horton said: “The really encouraging thing actually was that our top two riders scored four points each and we still won, and I’m taking the positives out of that.
“Josh did a marvellous job for us, and filled in for Sarj really well, so we take the three points from it and move on.”
