COVENTRY have made themselves favourites for the Elite League title after a 54-41 home win over Belle Vue in the first leg of the play-off final.

Aces skipper Jason Crump scored a 21-point maximum but Bees gave the more solid team performance. Coventry co-boss Peter Oakes said: ''We now have to guard against thinking we''ve won it. We''ve still got 15 very tough heats to come at Belle Vue next Monday.''
