ROYALS SEEK QUICK TURNAROUND

KENT manager Jamie Willis has described the club’s start to the season as “totally unacceptable.”

The Royals have suffered five successive defeats in National Development League and KO Cup fixtures, including back-to-back reverses in their weekend Northern tour at Edinburgh and Berwick.

Willis said: “Something needs to change, whether that’s riders, riding order or our pre-meeting preparation.

“It’s going to be a busy couple of days for Si (Kellow) and me as we look to find the right formula.  

“We can only apologise to all those supporting us trackside or at home, and we will do all we can to turn around our performances.”
