It's fair to say Berwick haven't done well in the Premier Trophy/League Cup/Championship Shield over the years since it was introduced in 1999.

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.

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

Yes, that sounds about right.

That means two world champions have ridden for Berwick then :-) (I can remember Tai guesting as well at one point). I'm not counting longtrack before anybody points out Kelvin Tatum.

That’s a different Competition from what I referred to though.
