HUME TO SKIPPER BANDITS

BERWICK have handed their club captaincy to Danyon Hume as they prepare for the new Cab Direct Championship campaign.

Hume is going into his second season with the Bandits and will skipper a senior side for the first time, having previously led Leicester Lion Cubs to an NDL double back in 2019.

He takes over from the highly experienced Rory Schlein, who took the decision to retire earlier this winter.

Manager Stewart Dickson said: “Rory’s retirement meant we lost not just a top rider but also an excellent captain, but I see Danyon as the perfect replacement.

“He is already a big personality within the pits and always ready to do what is best for the team, the perfect man for the job.”
