REIGNING Premier Trophy champions, the Lynn Money Centre Stars, have a busy start to the defence of their trophy with four meetings in five days.
It all starts at 7.30pm tomorrow night at the Norfolk Arena when the Stars take on local rivals, the Mildenhall Fen Tigers.

Riders and fans will then return to the track on Good Friday at noon to see the first leg of a home and away bonanza against the Birmingham Brummies, with the return just seven hours later over in the Midlands.

On Sunday afternoon the Stars will then make the short trip over to West Row for the away match against the Fen Tigers.

Rob Lyon believes his team are ready to stamp their authority on the group's Premier Trophy qualifying table.

He said: "With two points for a home win and three for an away one we have a maximum of ten league points to pick up over five days.

"Realistically if we could get seven of those we would be happy, but we will be aiming to collect all ten.

"The challenge matches against Ipswich were hard but I think it did our boys good, they really mixed it with some of the world's best riders and when they face Premier League opposition it should all seem a lot easier.

"Mildenhall actually surprised me by doing very well away at Peterborough in their first meeting of the season, so they should be good competition and a good warm-up for the match against Birmingham, who have a very good team this season."

The gates open at 10.30am on Good Friday with the parade at midday. With the right weather the Stars should see a bumper crowd, so please arrive as early as possible.

Admission for Wednesday's and Friday's meetings are: Adults £12, concessions £8, 12-15 year-olds £4, kids 11 years and under free.

Stars team for all meetings: 1 Tomas Topinka (c) 9.24, 2 Shaun Tacey 5.44, 3 Kevin Doolan 8.40, 4 Kozza Smith 5.00, 5 Rusty Harrison 6.08, 6 John Oliver 4.22, 7 Simon Lambert 3.00.

Mildenhall: 1 Kaj Laukkanen (c) 8.33, 2 Shane Colvin 4.75, 3 Jan Graversen 7.00, 4 Robbie Kessler 5.79, 5 Casper Wortmann 7.00, 6 Mark Baseby 3.00, 7 James Cockle 3.68.
