BANDITS MEETING OFF

BERWICK have postponed Saturday’s home KO Cup fixture with Redcar due to illness and unavailability of key track staff and management.

A worsening staffing shortage reached crisis point on Thursday morning and the club reluctantly decided that the meeting could not go ahead.

They commented: “At Berwick Speedway we operate with a small but effective group of track staff and management, and unfortunately we simply could not run a speedway meeting without our missing staff.

“Postponing any meeting is not a decision we take lightly for any reason, but we were left with no alternative.

“We wish all parties a speedy recovery and hope to see them and our supporters trackside as soon as possible.”
