PREVIEW: EDINBURGH v BERWICK (BSN SERIES)
EDINBURGH and Berwick kick off a crucial weekend of BSN Series action with tonight’s (Friday) meeting at Armadale.
The sides also meet at Shielfield Park tomorrow and with Glasgow already in a strong position in the group, the Monarchs and Bandits both need two good results.
Both teams are at full strength with the visitors set to look to Rory Schein, an Edinburgh rider in the early 2000s, for track knowledge.
Monarchs boss Alex Harkess said: “Berwick will be looking to prove a point after their home defeat last Saturday, but we are looking to take as much as we can out of the weekend.
“The target is the maximum five points. We have to win the home leg. All season home legs are very important and we have to be winning them.
“We welcome Rory once again. He’s been very good round Armadale for years and I’m sure he will be quite happy to come back.”
Schlein said: “The Glasgow defeat hurt, and it will continue to hurt until we get that win on the board.
“I said to the Courtneys (Berwick owners Scott and Jamie), Dewsy and Flinty (team manager Gary Flint and his fellow promoter Steve Dews) after Saturday’s match that the only way we will get over this is to go out and get a result.
“It is that simple, I cannot put it any other way. Everyone now has a point to prove. We have to show the fans that this hurt, and we need to show against Edinburgh that this isn’t going to happen again.”
EDINBURGH: Josh Pickering, Lasse Fredriksen, Kye Thomson, Paco Castagna, Craig Cook, Kyle Bickley, Jacob Hook.
BERWICK: Thomas Jorgensen, Jonas Knudsen, Leon Flint, Jye Etheridge, Rory Schlein, Connor Coles, Nathan Stoneman.
