| |  | BIRMINGHAM are back on top of the Premier League table after a dominant win at Newport on Sunday afternoon.
The BRC Roofing Brummies tore into their Welsh rivals in the early stages of the Hayley Stadium meeting, romping into a 23-7 lead after five races thanks to four 5-1s.
It was the perfect way to recover from the setback of losing at Scunthorpe on Friday, and it took until Heat 8 for the demoralised home side to even notch a race victory, former Brummies star Craig Watson taking the flag.
Brummies led by a massive 22-points with four heats to go, and that turned out to be a useful lead because they suffered several moments of misfortune late on including falls for both Steve Johnston and Jason Lyons in Heat 13 as the Wasps carded a consolation 5-0.
Richard Sweetman, though, had the final say, moving to double figures with fine passing moves in both Heats 14 and 15 "“ whilst Justin Sedgmen signed off his prolific spell at reserve with five race wins.
Boss Graham Drury said: "That was much more like it from us and I'm a lot happier than I was on Friday night. We're now working hard on how we're going to line up with new averages coming in next week."
NEWPORT 39: Leigh Lanham 11+2, Kim Nilsson 7, Craig Watson 5+1, Kyle Legault 5, Anders Mellgren 4, Alex Davies 4, Todd Kurtz 3+1.
BIRMINGHAM 52: Justin Sedgmen 15, Richard Sweetman 11, Aaron Summers 10+2, Jason Lyons 8+1, Steve Johnston 6+3, Jake Anderson 2+1, Chris Kerr r/r.
