BEWLEY CROWNED CHAMPION

DAN Bewley delivered a faultless display to win the Sports Insure British Final Championship at Belle Vue on Sunday.

Bewley raced to six straight wins in a meeting high on entertainment to secure his first senior national crown as he continues a stunning season overall.

The former Aces favourite blasted clear in the Final leaving a major scrap for the remaining rostrum places behind him, with current Belle Vue Rising Star Tom Brennan finishing runner-up ahead of another ex-Aces man Craig Cook, whilst Danny King just missed out on the top three.

Bewley said: “It was great to be back at Belle Vue for this meeting. You always want to win meetings like this but it’s extra special to do it in front of my ‘home crowd’ in Manchester.

“It’s a special feeling to have ticked this one off. It was good to have gone through the card, but it doesn’t mean anything going into the Final.

“You’ve got three other guys next to you that want it as badly as you, so I knew I needed to make a good start, and I’m delighted to have finally won.”

Bewley was also the winner of the inaugural Nigel Pearson Award in a poll voted by supporters. He received 43% of the vote, edging out Kyle Howarth on 32% with the Sheffield and Leicester man also delivering an action-packed display before missing out in the semi-final.
