crescent girl Posted June 8, 2023 Report Share Posted June 8, 2023 This from Berwick's club media briefing this morning: High-flying Mildenhall Fen Tigers visit Shielfield Park on Saturday. That means skippers Greg Blair and Lee Complin going head-to-head for the third time this season with pulses still racing from their clash three weeks ago when the former Bandit guested for Workington. When the teams met at West Row last month it was Connor Coles, Danny Phillips and an inspired Jamie Halder who took the fight to Complin and Alfie Bowtell, going into heat 15 with the chance of a draw. Josh Embleton is sidelined by a chipped wrist and knee ligament damage sustained in a high speed crash against Workington, former Edinburgh teenager Mickie Simpson comes in. The Fen Tigers enjoyed back-to-back victories at Workington and at home to Belle Vue last weekend but lost a bruising top of the table encounter at Oxford on Tuesday night. Greg Blair said “Mildenhall are a good team and, from a personal point of view I’m looking forward to facing Lee (Complin) again. He’s a good mate and I know he’s keen to get one over me after Workington. “Both teams are packed with talent and the meetings have been so tight around the National League this year that the battle for the minor places is as important as race wins. “With the season over halfway through we didn’t plan to be sat at the bottom of the table but, despite everything, I don’t think our performances have been reflected by our points’ tally. “Against Oxford Mason (Watson) looked back to his old self after a tricky start to the season and a firing reserve is always going to be an advantage when the scores are tight.” The NDL clash will be followed by an NJL mini-match between Berwick Academy and Ashfield Giants.

BackstaightBandit Posted June 10, 2023 Report Share Posted June 10, 2023 Really looking forward to this one, a fantastic lineup and it’s all set for some sunny speedway at Berwick. Last week was a cracker of a meeting and I’m sure the Bullets will be out fighting for the win. You won’t want to miss it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normski Posted June 11, 2023 Report Share Posted June 11, 2023 Another enjoyable meeting last night Complin was superb as was Bowtell. Quite impressed with Ben Trigger as well. Bullets put in a lot of effort as usual and one of these weeks they will get their rewards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
