This has all the makings of another close match, Berwick are probably in their best form of the season, while Newcastle have three heat leaders who all go very well around Shielfield. Pity that Robert Lambert is missing, but Ricky Wells is an able guest. Stuart Robson could be the key for me, he always scores well up here. Forecast is good, hopefully a bit more dirt on the track this week and a good travelling support to make an atmosphere.

And don't forget after the main meeting, there is a NJL meeting second half between the Border Raiders and the Gems.

Will the Gems get their first win at Berwick, be there to see it.

Can anyone confirm who is taking the No7 position for Berwick, official site says they intend using Jack Parkinson Blackburn but are waiting on an injury update as Jack fell in a meeting in Prague during the week, update site has the No7 position as TBC.

Decent meeting and a good result for Berwick. Four wins in a row, things coming together, just too late in the season. Thought it would have been a bit closer, I expected bigger scores from Steve Worrall and Stuart Robson. Racing was better than last week, the track was still quite slick, but it's been baking hot here today and they have to work around the football.

Good crowd tonight, a few visitors always helps. Cracking to see all the riders in the crowd after the meeting posing for photos and signing autographs. Great to see with all the kids. Also good to see al the crowd staying behind to watch the NJL meeting. Luke Harrison has a great style for such a young lad.

I think the ref was trying to add to the atmosphere by warning Nick in heat 15 (terrible decision). :drink:

I wasn't quite sure how last nights meeting was going to go , I'd expected a stiffer challenge from The Diamonds. Having Kelsey at reserve instead of JPB didn't really affect us that much as the performance of both Hopwood & Bowtell cancelled him out . Robbo has had better nights at Shielfield guess his recent busy schedule might have caught up with both man and machine and it took Steve Worrall to ht 15 before he picked up a win . Ricky Wells picked some early practice for next Saturday night and will be looking to continue in a similar vein. For Berwick it was another good solid performance with everyone except Jye picking up a win , hopefully we can continue next weekend, but there's a tough looking visit to Foxhall Heath to come first.

It was a comfortable enough win in the end for Berwick though it should be remembered that Newcastle were well in this right up to halfway, in fact they lead early on but it was another welcome win.

One positive thing about our away meeting at Ipswich this Thursday is that they should have the use of Nick Morris as Swindon dont have a meeting that night, though Morris will miss our meeting with Sheffield on the 16th of this month.
