STONEMAN INJURY BLOW

BERWICK reserve Nathan Stoneman looks set to miss the remainder of the season after breaking his shoulder blade in a high-speed crash on Saturday.

Stoneman came to grief in Heat 2 of the Bandits’ win over Plymouth when he clipped the rear wheel of the Gladiators’ Harry McGurk as the riders approached the third bend.

Team boss Gary Flint said: “It is a real shame as Nathan has been going well for both us and Oxford Chargers in the National League and had quickly become a very popular member of the Bandits’ family.

“Nathan himself hopes to be back racing before the end of the season, but I think that’s a bit ambitious.”
