Coventry Bees suffered a heavy 56-37 defeat away to Lakeside Hammers in the Elite League on Wednesday.

Despite winning their previous two meetings only Rory Schlein (15) and Ben Barker (nine) notched up points totals of any note.

Barker told BBC Coventry & Warwickshire: "There's no 'I' in team. It doesn't matter how good one rider does, it just wasn't our night.

"They're a good side - they're awesome around here," he added.
