KING’S Lynn’s new National Development Trophy team will go into action for the first time at Birmingham on Monday April 14.

The fixtures for the third tier are out with the Young Stars part of a competition which will see them take on the Bulls, Kent, Leicester and Plymouth.

There are no play-offs with the trophy to be decided purely on the basis of positions at the end of the league schedule.

Leicester are the additions to the NDT compared to the set-up originally announced, as the East Midlands side replaced Workington and will in fact be tracking two separate teams in both the NDT and parallel NDL competitions.

So although Leicester have signed Max Perry and Cooper Rushen for their Lion Cubs team in the NDL, this has no effect on the Young Stars as the two riders will both be in Lynn colours when they take on the Fox Cubs in the NDT.

Wednesday night will be race-night for home matches, with the opener at the Adrian Flux Arena scheduled for April 30 and the return match against Birmingham.

Home matches then follow against Leicester (June 25), Kent (July 16) and Plymouth (August 13).
