FIVE TEAMS BACK FOR NJL

THE existing five teams in the Northern Junior League have all confirmed they will compete once again in 2026.

Ashfield (Glasgow), Berwick, Redcar, West Lothian (Edinburgh) and Workington will all be involved in the competition, which takes place in second halves after senior meetings.

The NJL title went down to the very last fixture in 2025 where Berwick just pipped West Lothian on points difference, with Berwick on +41 and West Lothian on +37 after both teams finished on 11 league points at the top of the table.

The format is the same again for 2026 with four riders in each team – two of those riding 500cc motorcycles, with two Youth riders on 125cc machines.

SCB Co-Ordinator Neil Vatcher said: “This is such a great league for a number of reasons, including more development time for the young British riders in a structured team format, taking place in most cases after the main event of the fixture of their senior teams.

“Our thanks again to the commitment of the five clubs for their continued support to Youth development for British riders.”
