That's great news. The dilemma is going to be though does the promotion bring him back and stick with Eddie or is the decision going to be made for them?..

I think it would be disappointing if Berwick did not stick with Ricky if he is coming back,he has become a favourite of the fans and done a good job in his time at Berwick.

From Berwick website tonight:

 

EDWARD AND RICKY: THE FUTURE: Edward Kennett’s future as a Bandit will also become clearer over the next few weeks.

 

“As is pretty well known, Edward agreed to race for our club as a direct replacement for Ricky Ashworth” explained team manager Ian Rae.

 

“We agreed with Swindon, with whom he rides in the Elite League, that he would stay on as a Bandit until Ricky was cleared to ride and had got in some solid practice sessions to see how he feels, and could declare himself fully fit again”.

 

“This situation has not changed, but in the interests of total clarity, I would confirm that Ricky was last week finally cleared by the neurological and medical authorities to resume riding a motor-bike”.

 

“However, he is by his own admission a long, long way from being race-fit, and is intending to go to as many circuits he can over the next couple of weeks – he has ridden out at Stoke already -- to try himself out on track, to get totally fit again and to ensure he feels comfortable in himself about coming back”.

 

“Then, and only then, will Ricky be able to feel confident enough to offer himself to Berwick again – and at that time we will let everyone know the situation. Not before!”

 

“In the meantime, everyone here at Shielfield is just so proud to have Edward Kennett in our colours, and now named in Britain’s World Team Cup squad – which is yet another first for the club, as we’ve never previously had a British WTC rider in our team”.

Tatum broke a bone in his back, riding for Berwick in the Gold Cup Final (Bandits won -- their only big-league trophy) at Oxford, the week before the WTC that year.

cheers ,remember now,crashed at Oxford with Blixt which finished him with serious wrist injury,former Bandit Paul Thorp rode in Final.
