| |  | BIRMINGHAM put in a powerful performance to claim an impressive 56-34 win at Belle Vue on Friday.
The Surestop Brummies wrapped up their regular National League programme with a confidence-boosting display ahead of Sunday's Play-Off Final first leg at Eastbourne (6.30).
Young gun Jack Smith put in a stunning display whilst Tom Bacon and Tom Perry also bagged double figures in the engine room of the side.
With Jack Parkinson-Blackburn and guesting No.1 Mitchell Davey also in impressive form, the visitors recorded 11 race wins.
It was a convincing showing from the patched-up Brummies, who were without injured duo Zach Wajtknecht and Danyon Hume plus Darryl Ritchings due to travel problems.
Team boss Graham Drury was delighted to see his side claim a big away win to warm up for the all-important National League Grand Final.
"It was a very good performance by the riders," Drury said. "People said it was a meaningless meeting but we had a lot of Brummies fans there tonight and we wanted to put on a show for them.
"It was a very good team performance with the whole team contributing, and it certainly stands us in good stead going into the play-offs."
BELLE VUE 34: Matt Williamson 12, Rob Shuttleworth 8, Nathan Greaves 6, Tom Woolley 4+3, Andy Mellish 4, David Holt 0, Lee Payne r/r.
BIRMINGHAM 56: Jack Smith 16+1, Tom Bacon 12, Tom Perry 11+1, Jack Parkinson-Blackburn 8+3, Mitchell Davey 8+1, Lee Geary 1+1, Danyon Hume r/r.
