KEMP IN FOR LIONS

LEICESTER have announced Drew Kemp will come into their team ahead of their opening KO Cup fixtures against Birmingham next week.

Kemp started the 2024 season with the Lions before losing his place to Craig Cook in late May.

Cook was expected to return to the Hydroscand Arena, Beaumont Park this season but the club have stated he has informed them he is unavailable to race at this time.

Kemp will attend the Lions’ press and practice on Thursday and also the Premiership Media Day at Oxford on Sunday.
