FLINT BACK TO LEAD BANDITS
BERWICK have announced local favourite Leon Flint will return next season – and will take over as club captain.
The reigning British Under-19 and Under-21 Champion became a heat-leader at Championship level this year and will skipper the Bandits in 2023.
The club have also confirmed title sponsors Fire Training Services and ‘powered by’ backed Keenwood Karpets have both agreed to continue their support.
Co-owner Jamie Courtney said: “We have a double British Champion in Leon Flint who has now competed at GP level after beginning in the second halves at Shielfield.
“He has blazed the trail, and the exciting thing is there is a batch of talent looking to follow.
“A lot of hard work goes in behind the scenes and by a dedicated group of volunteers to make sure that Berwick not only lines up alongside but can compete with big city clubs, their huge catchment areas and financial clout.
“But here we are, preparing for our 55th season, ready to dig deep and do it all again.”
