NEWCASTLE skipper James Grieves was thrown out of their 46-44 Premier League defeat at Newcastle after throwing a punch at Neil Collins.

The incident occurred after Heat 13 when Collins had passed Grieves and colleague George Stancl.

Newport chief Tim Stone said: ''On the slow-down lap Grieves, who I understand has had boxing training, laid into Neil. It was a vicious attack which left Neil on the floor and I was appalled by it.''

KING''S Lynn chief Keith Chapman believes the race for the British Under-21 title is wide open.

The final will be staged at the Norfolk Arena this Wednesday and includes hot prospects Edward Kennett, Lewis Bridger, James Wright and William Lawson.
