BWD is not riding. Diamonds are using r/r at #1 at Glasgow on Friday, but have Chris Harris on Sunday.

He was a hero to ride on, and effectively win the match in Heat 14, if he has a broken leg!

Cannot understand the comments (mainly from some southern posters, l think) about how the current NDL is "devalued"..... In my eyes it's a great league, if Worky and Easty -- dare l add IoW? -- were to join the existing clubs in 2023, it would add even more sparkle. IMHO....

Don't the Updates people just lift Shadders' excellent Berwick Live Updates service, rather than source their own info?

Last season, Monarchs WON by 58-32 at Shielfield!

Never mind, Bruan -- you've got the Mughty Banditos next week!

The cost for setting up a one-off stream from a stadium which has no facility already set up? At least £3K......

Hopefully, he's had no lasting damage, and can make the meetings. If he's ruled out, Bandits would have Leon Flint, Ty Proctor and Jye Etheridge (twice) on hand as rider-replacements.

The second part of Saturday's Shielfield Park double-header features the NDL portion of the Berwick/Edinburgh Easter eggs-travaganza (sorry, couldn't help myself). The CL match begins at 6.30pm, expect this part of proceedings to kick off about 8.15pm GHT Bullets: 1 Kyle Bickley (captain), 2 Kieran Douglas, 3 Ben Rathbone, 4 Greg Blair, 5 Luke Crang, 6 Mason Watson, 7 Ace Pijper Stellar Devils: 1 Danny Phillips, 2 Josh Embleton, 3 Tom Wooley (captain), 4 George Rothery, 5 Willie Lawson, 6 Gregor Millar, 7 Lewis Millar Adults £24, Concessions/OAP/Students £20, Juniors (12-15) £6, Under 12 £1 At the time of writing, Bullets are top of the NDL standings (albeit with a long way to go) and must be aiming to add some points - but, when an Edinburgh team come to Berwick.....

First part of Saturday's double-header features two clubs, each with two new riders and a returnee joining three from last season. Last season, Edinburgh swamped the Bandits 32-58 -- revenge would be sweet! The same clubs' NDL teams provide the second match entertainment after the main event. FTS Bandits: 1 Chris Harris (captain), 2 Ty Proctor, 3 Theo Pijper, 4 Leon Flint, 5 Ricky Wells, 6 Jye Etheridge, 7 Kyle Bickley WTF Monarchs: 1 Sam Masters (captain), 2 Lasse Fredriksen, 3 Paco Castagna, 4 Kye Thomson, 5 Joshie Pickering, 6 Jacob Hook, 7 James Sarjeant Tapes up: 6.30pm Double-header prices: Adults £24, Concessions/OAP/Students £20, Juniors (12-15) £6, Under 12 £1

The very best wishes to everyone who has contributed in any way to the resurrection of the stadium, and speedway in Oxford. It is a real feel-good story, let's now look for a return to glory at Coventry, Rye House and Bradford......

Luke Killeen was at Berwick last night, but had bike trouble, didnt get many -- any -- laps in after match. His brother Dec is lined up to start in the Berwick Academy team, although both are currently awaiting the blessing of Prittii Patel ....

Wait til next Friday!

Late change for the Chargers. Sam Woods replaces Luke Killeen, who is awaiting issue of his UK passport. Bullets will enter this one cock-a-hoop, following tonight's big win, featuring a dream debut for 15-year-old Ace Pijper, at Armadale.

Quite apart from the result, this was an entertaining match on a chilly night. The first half-dozen races had so much going on, with passing and re-passing galore, that one could hardly draw breath. Armadale had more heat winners than the Bullets, but Berwick had only two last places all night. A great advert for NDL speedway.

Saturday weather forecast offers a dry day, if not warm. But it is Berwick! Teams are -- on paper -- pretty evenly matched, could be an NDL classic!

Tom Woolley is an excellent choice to skipper the Devils, IMO.....

Nothing is forever. Somerset?
