Problems with his bike for Krysztof Kasprzak cost the pole victory in heat one, but after that he won every one of four heats.
After drawing the first heat 3-3 and losing the second 4-2, The Bees won their first heat of the evening with a 4-2 victory in Heat 3 with Ed Kennett taking the win.
That tied the meeting at 3-3. A win for Richard Sweetman gave the Bees a 4-2 victory and this was followed by a re-run 4-2- victory and two 5-1 wins.
The Bees were twelve points ahead as we went into Heat eight which was another 3-3. Kylmakorpi had a tactical ride for Eastbourne in Heat nine and the visitors won that heat 5-3 but an easy 5-1 for Kasprzak and Lewis Bridger saw the Bees now fourteen points ahead.
For Eastbourne, the meeting got worse when their number one Matej Zagar was withdrawn.
The Bees had a 5-1 win in Heat 11 before a tactical ride by Gustafsson gave Eastbourne a 4-3 win efore the interval.
Kasprzak and Harris combined for a 5-1 victory before Heat 14 finished 3-3.
All that was left was the margin of victory for Coventry and that was 58-35 when the Bees finished with a 4-2.
