crescent girl Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 Edinburgh's John Campbell is quoted (in club press release) as saying: “We need to win tonight (Friday, against Glasgow) and ensure the Tigers do not pick up a point and then we must secure all four points at Berwick tomorrow". Fighting talk from the tall bald one! The Monarchs do have a good record at Shielfield Park however, and Saturday should be Berwick's hardest home-track test so far. From the Olympus Marquees Bandits own media briefing, Kevin Doolan says: "It's Edinburgh, after all. We have to take the threat of them coming here to wreak revenge very seriously indeed -- but with these fans of ours, waving flags and big foam fingers galore, I'm hoping we can see them off and maintain our very real intention of progression to the semi-finals". Bandits: 1. Thomas Jorgensen, 2. Theo Pijper, 3. Kevin Doolan (captain), 4. Anders Mellgren, 5. Seb Alden, 6. Matty Wethers, 7. Liam Carr.Monarchs: 1. Sam Masters (captain), 2. Erick Riss, 3. Kevin Wolbert, 4. Jye Etheridge, 5. Ryan Fisher, 6. Max Clegg, 7. Dan Bewley. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topsoil Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 Interesting Edinburgh have switched Etheridge to number 4. Will this be to match up against Mellgren, who has been Berwick's weak link so far this season? Despite being weaker than in previous years, I'm still expecting a very tough meeting on Saturday, with Masters and Fisher especially being very good around Shielfield and Riss, Wolbert and Clegg all having good meetings last season down here. Looking forward to seeing Dan Bewley as well. Obviously going to be a bit raw at this stage of his career, but there are good reviews about him. This is possibly Berwick's best chance yet to progress in the League Cup. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cj69 Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 (edited) Making my way to this on sat. Reading good things about Berwick this season and having witnessed it last friday they also have a decent team.I would be happy if we managed to keep the score close but of course a wee away win for us would be nice.Got the mother in law visiting this weekend so please weather gods ensure this stays on Edited April 14, 2016 by Cj69 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigeddiechek Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 I think the Capital Monarchs could come down and give us a wee shock if we're not on our top game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screm Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 Berwick`s stronger lower order will see them through in this meeting, though Masters, Wolbert and inparticular Fisher should make this an entertaining enough meeting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSC67 Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 This will be a though fixture , we've already seen how much "Flying Ryan " likes Shielfield could be a potential banana skin if we're not on top form . The result up there will mean nothing if we don't win this one , a win for Edinburgh vs Glasgow on Friday could see the Bandits in pole position in this section away wins are vital so we can afford any slips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topsoil Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 If mellgren fires on Saturday night this could back fire on Edinburgh I would feel a lot more confident about chances of winning if I thought Mellgren could get into the points. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

screm Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 Anders Thrown a sickie ,badnits. stronger and should win by at least 10 Lets hope Mellgren gets better soon as is back in the team asap and Berwick can get back to seven riders. In his absence this certainly makes Berwick stronger. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crescent girl Posted April 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 From this morning's e-newsletter: ANDERS OUT We regret to report that our popular Swede Anders Mellgren has been declared unfit to race for up to a month.As we are aware, Anders has been battling a knee injury, sustained in a fall at a training track in Cumbria the day before our opening match of the season at Redcar..He has attempted to ride through a barrier of considerable pain since then, but a further knock this week has made the difficulty of trying to race impossible.He has returned to Sweden for medical treatment and assessment of the ligament damage..The club has received a medical report and certificate from the clinic in Sweden, which has been lodged, duly translated, with the BSPA office at Rugby.While we await further medical reports, your Olympic Marquees Bandits will operate the rider-replacement facility in both League Cup matches this weekend.Anders's four programmed races may be taken by Theo Pijper, Matty Wethers and Liam Carr.
