KERR RETAINS SILVER HELMET

REDCAR star Lewis Kerr successfully defended the Teesside Silver Helmet at the Ecco Arena on Friday.

Kerr, who won the title in 2021, finished one point behind team-mate Erik Riss in the qualifying races but won the all-important Final whilst Riss, who had scored 13 points from his five programmed rides, missed out at the back.

The remaining rostrum places were taken by Benjamin Basso as runner-up and Thomas Jorgensen in third, whilst there was an eye-catching nine-point score from Berwick Bullets youngster Ace Pijper.
