BANDITS SWOOP FOR PALOVAARA

BERWICK have added Swedish star Victor Palovaara to their heat-leader department for the 2026 season.

Palovaara switches to Shielfield Park after making a successful return to Cab Direct Championship racing with Edinburgh this year, ending with a 7.35 average.

Bandits manager Stewart Dickson said: “Victor’s early-season form was superb and we were on the receiving end in both the BSN Series and Championship clashes, and I expect him to get dialled into Shielfield Park straight away.

“In Victor, Peter (Kildemand) and Nick (Morris) we have a strong and experienced spearhead both home and away.

“It’s a strong start to our team building and along with club owner Jamie Courtney and promoters Steve Dews and Sarah Bulman we are working hard to finalise a team which will be looking to qualify for the play-offs at the very least in 2026.”
