BRITISH superstars Eddie Kennett and Adam Roynon are the first two riders to be named in the Telford indoor ice speedway event next February.

Kennett will make his first public appearance in competitive action since his suspension over a silencer issue at the Shropshire venue on Sunday, February 26.

He has just penned a new deal to return to Coventry Bees and is widely regarded as a specialist on the ice.

And Roynon has just agreed a return to Dudley Heathens where he will be captain as well as riding for Premier League Workington Comets.

Telford promoter Graham Drury said: “It will be Eddie’s first meeting back from suspension and I have no doubt he will be desperate to win the British Open.

“Adam is a massive favourite down the road with the Dudley fans and I’m sure they will come along in big numbers. He came to watch last February and told me then he wanted a place this time.”

The event features both afternoon and evening sessions with England Select v rest of the World at 3pm followed by the British Open at 7.30pm.

Standing: Adults £15.50, children £5.50. Reserved seating £17.50 adults, £10.50 children. Credit card hotline 0845 155 9966 ext 0.
