DEVILS TO RETURN IN ’23

EDINBURGH have announced they will continue to stage National Development League racing at Armadale Stadium in 2023.

Both the Devils and Mildenhall, who were unable to declare for the new season back in November, have now confirmed their participation which takes the third tier back up to eight clubs.

Edinburgh co-promoter John Campbell said: “It is no secret that the Armadale Devils have faced their challenges in the past two seasons, both in terms of rider availability and financially.

“Following the recent National Development League AGM we took the option to delay confirmation of our continued participation so that we may assess our activity at this level to ensure that it is fulfilling its role within our Academy structure to the full.

“In this assessment we have identified some areas for improvement that we will adjust going forward and also identified that to fully deliver our development activities, further funding will need to be attracted.

“It is crucially important that we do continue to operate a team at this level so that the Academy offers a complete pathway. As such, we are delighted to be racing in the National Development League in 2023 and will build a team that can compete well.”
