Coventry Bees began the defence of their Elite League title with an impressive 56-38 victory over neighbours Birmingham Brummies.
Eddie Kennett put in a captain's performance with a maximum 15-point haul, his first for Coventry.
Przemyslaw Pawlicki also weighed in with double figures for the home side at Brandon.
Krzysztof Kasprzak failed to win a race on his return to his old stomping ground as Brummies went home pointless.
It's great that they won but even better that they beat a Brummie team
