When, if ever, did the Bandits last qualify out of the group stage of this competition? Certainly can't remember Berwick qualifying from the group stages. During the Peter Waite era, the Premier Trophy / Shield was used as a warm up / average manipulation for the League campaign. That coupled with our inability to win at any of our neighbours meant we very rarely looked like qualifying. Berwick have a habit of finishing seasons in better form than starting them.

Wasn't that an end of season competition, rather than the one at he start? I thought it was Workington who beat us in the final. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that was the end of season competition for the teams not in the top half of the league,( The Young Shield ? ) Comets won the meeting on what was a very wet night , as I remember Jason Doyle guested for Berwick in the earlier rounds but had to go home and missed the final Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I missed a lot of the 90s and early 2000s so I'm going to guess either Nicki Pedersen, in his Newcastle days, or somebody in the 1991 season, as guests?
