BELLE VUE went top of the Elite League with a 48-42 win over Ipswich at Kirkmanshulme Lane - but missed out on the aggregate bonus point.

Jason Crump (16+1) and Simon Stead (13) took a maximum 5-1 win in the last race to see off the Witches.

The Aces were without Kenneth Bjerre who injured a hand in Sweden on Tuesday but x-rays have revealed there is no break.

NEWCASTLE are facing up to an injury crisis ahead of their Knockout Cup clashes with Workington this weekend.

Adam McKinna, Christian Henry and Josef Franc all left the Isle of Wight on Tuesday night having picked up injures to wrist, ribs and hand respectively.

Newcastle team manager George English said: ''Adam is probably the one who will struggle the most to make this weekend but we are also waiting nervously for the latest news on Christian and Josef.''
