KEMP: UNDERDOGS CAN WIN!

BERWICK star Drew Kemp believes the Border club can shed their ‘underdog’ tag and mount a strong challenge for silverware.

Kemp has been retained by the Bandits after achieving a career best average in the Cab Direct Championship with the Shielfield Park side last year.

And he’s pleased with the club’s winter acquisitions which include experienced GB racer Craig Cook, and Danish ace Peter Kildemand.

Kemp said: “This could be the year we win something or at least reach Finals. That would be good not just for us riders but the fans too.

“Berwick fans are the friendliest I’ve ever experienced – and I’ve got a few teams to compare them to. They care deeply about their club but are not straight on your back if you are having a bad meeting.

“The pressure isn’t as high here as there is a perception that this is a club not expected to win things. Berwick are very much underdogs compared to say Glasgow or Poole.

“But 2025 is the year to prove we aren’t underdogs, but a team that can win something.”
