SPIRES BRING IN KEMP

OXFORD Spires have released Lewis Kerr from their ROWE Motor Oil Premiership line-up and signed Drew Kemp as his replacement.

Kemp joins the Cowley club having started the season with rivals Leicester, whilst Kerr drops out after a tough run of results of late.

The change comes into force for this Monday’s Sandy Lane fixture where Oxford face Sheffield.

Spires manager Peter Schroeck said: “Lewis has admitted that since returning from his injury, he has not been able to score at the level he was at the start of the season, and I felt that we needed to do something to maintain our push for a play-off spot.

“Lewis is a great rider and I want to publicly thank him for all his efforts under difficult circumstances.

“This is an opportunity for Drew to demonstrate that he is capable of scoring good points in this league.”
