Lakeside Hammers host the Belle Vue Aces on Wednesday at Purfleet, live on Sky Sports 2 from 7.30pm. The Hammers have enjoyed a strong start to the new Elite League season and will be looking to go back to the top of the table with a positive result against the Aces. The Essex club have a 100% record at home after three meetings at the notoriously tricky track for visiting teams.The Aces have only ridden three meetings so far this season due to the ongoing track work at the new National Stadium, meaning all of their track action has come away from home. However, the Aces have started the season well racking up two big away wins and are tipped by many for a successful season after narrowly being beaten in last years Grand Final. Lakesides Lewis Kerr has been pleased with how the side have started the season but knows they will have to be at their best against the Aces. Scott Nicholls column We hear from the Belle Vue captain on the season so far Its been a good start to the season, said Kerr. Were really strong at home and have picked up points on the road. We beat Poole at home so that was a good one and hopefully we will carry that form into Wednesday against Belle Vue.Were going to have to be at the top of our game against them, theyre strong all the way down. Theyve got Stevie Worrall at reserve and theyre strong throughout. Like Poole they are tipped to do good things this year.Kerrs inclusion in the Lakeside side was a late one after he was forced to move away from Kings Lynn after a change of race night clashed with his Premier League club Ipswich Witches. However, the 26-year-old has embraced a change of scenery. Take a look at Andreas Jonssons dramatic last heat win for the Lakeside Hammers against the Coventry Bees It didnt affect my preparations for the new season. To be honest I think I was ready for a change with both clubs and I think it will do me good to freshen things up a bit especially after the injury and it will be beneficial to me.The Snettisham born rider is working under Kelvin Tatum who joined the Hammers as a coach in the winter and is benefitting from having the Sky Sports pundit in the pits.Kelvin is good to be honest, after every race he will come up to me and try and help me, advising me on what to do if things havent worked or if things have gone well he will be praising me which is good for me. Lewis Kerr rides for the Ipswich Witches in the Premier League My form is steady; Ive had some good meetings and some bad meetings but I think its expected after last year and Im confident things will come good.Kerr rides for the Revolution Speedway team and explains what the first professional race team in the sport do for him throughout the season.Revolution are the first independent speedway race team, they take care of bringing sponsors on board, the bikes and the JAWA engines. That means I have no bikes to prep and wash so I can focus on my fitness really.Last season Kerr suffered a spine chilling crash at Peterborough which left him in a coma with many wondering if he would ride again but the English rider has worked hard to get back on the track and is enjoying racing again.I was very lucky to have no side effects at all and I worked really hard on my fitness and I think it showed at the time; the fitter you are the better you recover and Im really happy to be riding a bike again.

PORTLAND, Ore. -- The Vancouver Whitecaps can finally say theyve beaten their archrivals in Major League Soccer. Pedro Morales scored twice on penalty kicks as Vancouver defeated Portland 4-3 on Sunday for the Whitecaps first win against the Timbers since both teams entered the league in 2011. Erik Hurtado and Jordan Harvey also scored for the Whitecaps (5-2-5), who led 4-1 but had to fend off a late rally by the Timbers to stay unbeaten in five straight games. Portland put a scare into the Whitecaps with goals in the 77th and 86th minutes but Vancouvers offence was too much for the Timbers to handle, according to Hurtado. "No matter what were going to attack," he said. "Whether were at home, whether were away, whether were down, whether were up, were going to try to score goals. Thats the kind of team we are." Maximiliano Urruti, Gaston Fernandez and Will Johnson scored for Portland (3-4-7), which had its 22-game unbeaten run at home end. Urruti scored an impressive opener after just three minutes and Vancouver goalkeeper David Ousted saved a second goal in the first 10 minutes with a sprawling dive on a goal-bound Johnson shot moments later. In the 15th minute the games momentum shifted as Hurtado drew a penalty against Portland defender Jack Jewsbury following a darting run into the box. Morales converted in the 16th minute, drawing the game even against the run of play. Vancouver was awarded a second penalty nine minutes later when Jorge Villafana tackled Sebastian Fernandez inside the box. Kekuta Mannehs run sparked the play but the crowd didnt appreciate the call for a second consecutive spot kick. Morales converted again, increasing his team-leading goal total to five. The Whitecaps were lucky not to concede a penalty of their own when Diego Valeri was tackled from behind in the box but referee Kevin Stott withheld his whistle and play continued despite the protests of Portland coach Caleb Porter. Hurtado concluded his strong first half by scoring a rebounded goal after a sharp cross from Morales deep in injury time.dddddddddddd Donovan Ricketts saved Hurtados initial shot but the ricochet deflected off of the Portland natives knee and bounced over the line for a 3-1 advantage. Whitecaps coach Carl Robinson praised the play of Hurtado, who grew up in the Portland suburbs and played for the Timbers under-23 team before being drafted by the Whitecaps in 2013. "Hes been superb," said Robinson. "When you (play in front of family and friends) as a young player, you try to go away from the things that youre good at. He didnt do that. I thought his movement was excellent and he got his reward with the goal." Robinson replaced Manneh with Russell Teibert to open the second half as Vancouver downshifted to more comfortably manage the expected Portland attack. Yet it was the Whitecaps who struck first after the break with Morales crossing to left back Harvey, who fired into the bottom right corner for a 4-1 advantage in the 49th minute. Portland changed its offensive plan by inserting forwards Fanendo Adi and Fernandez for the ineffective Steve Zakuani and Urruti, respectively, but the visitors held their ground for much of the second half. Finally, Fernandez headed in a Valeri cross to cut the deficit to two goals in the 77th minute. Ousted then dove to save an Adi shot in the 84th minute but was helpless when Adi juggled the ball and flicked it to Johnson, who hammered home Portlands third in the 86th. The Whitecaps withstood a barrage of late pressure thanks to key saves from Ousted and strong performances from defenders Jay DeMerit and Andy OBrien. After the game, Robinson was still focused on his teams effective attack. "If youd said to me before the game, would I take a 4-3, I wouldve," he said. "I know were a team that can score goals. I said all along Id rather win 4-3 than 1-0." Vancouver next travels to Philadelphia to play the Union on Saturday. ' ' '
