Ipswich Witches’ young star Drew Kemp, 18, continues his upward path to glory in the sport of speedway.

At Belle Vue on Thursday night, the youngster, who rides for Team GB, as well as the Witches, flew to victory in a very special race that, had their been a crowd in, would have had them on their feet.

Riding in the Peter Craven Memorial Kemp, the British U19 champion, produced a stunning piece of riding to claim a heat victory, in a race that included Witches team-mate Jason Crump.

And although it wasn’t enough for him to make the grand final, it was a terrific ride.

No doubt Witches fans can’t wait to see him racing for the Witches at Foxhall next season.
