RYE House have named Jason Doyle as their temporary replacement for the injured Steve Boxall.The Australian had been without a team place in the UK until earlier this week when parent club Poole brought him into their Elite League line-up for another injury victim, Darcy Ward.He will now also have Premier League racing with the Rockets whilst doubling-up in the top-flight, and he joins the Hoddesdon side on an 8.73 average.Doyle demonstrated his intent on Saturday night when making a guest appearance for Rye House, dropping just one point from five rides in the 49-41 Anglia Cup win over Ipswich, with the Witches taking aggregate victory.

NEWCASTLE star Stuart Robson escaped serious injury in a last-race crash in the Diamonds' opening-night victory at Berwick.Robson was in pain from his foot after clashing with Bandits' Kozza Smith during Heat 15 of Newcastle's 50-43 victory, which also featured a five-ride maximum from Mark Lemon.Diamonds boss George English said: "It really was frightening to watch and thankfully Stu seems to have survived with very light injuries, indeed he should be riding in the second leg tonight - although he blew one motor early on and had his second one severely bashed about in Heat 15, so we're not sure what he'll be riding just yet."All my team deserved credit for the success and I was particularly pleased with the manner our new reserve lads went about their job."
