Last updated : 30 May 2016 By CNS Sport

Coventry Storm were beaten 61-29 on Sunday afternoon at Mildenhall.

The Storm has had Martin Knuckey suffer a compound right leg fracture in a heavy first bend accident in Heat 7

And in Heat 10 reserve Jamie Halder suffered a suspected broken left wrist

Storm manager Laurence Rogers said to the Bees website: “I don’t know how many black cats we’ve run over, but it must be a lot – we came here with six riders and went home with four.

“Martin has a compound open fracture so that’s going to take a bit of getting back from, and it looks like a fractured wrist for Jamie so it’s not a good day at all.

“Our next meeting isn’t until June 10, so I’ve got ten days to try and patch up the side before that.

“It was a tremendous performance from Callum Walker, and also Jamie – the two reserves did us proud.”
