It's only the mickey mouse border trophy :rofl:

Giving our record in recent times, a slim pickings mickey mouse trophy will do for starters.

I said last night I would reserve judgement on the Berwick team until after the Edinburgh meeting in a couple of weeks, that would be two meetings with Workington, Glasgow and Edinburgh, but so far so good.

What a weekend for the might Bandits, every single one them proving why they were signed as we dispatched the Comics and collected the Border Trophy.

Racing was first class at both venues and a great season opener to wet the whistle before next weeks clash with the Tigers of Glasgow.

Workington certainly seem like they could ruffle some feathers over the course of the season with Zischke and Vuolas certainly looking like hot prospects this afternoon and of course super Claus Vissing proving just how brilliant he is once again.

This season is sure to be an absolute cracker.

Think we were At Exeter on that tour the night before Weymouth.I remember someone in the crowd shouting at George Hunter how many rides he was going to have in the meeting.(he hated Exeter).George Cumming was the Team Manager if I remember correctly.
