FLINT RETURNS NEXT SEASON

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.”

SKIPPER Sam Masters has been reflecting on his time with Wolverhampton after sealing his return once again in 2023.
It will be a seventh straight season for the Aussie, who made his debut with the Monmore side during their last league success in 2016.

Masters said: “It’s been very successful for myself since coming here; I’ve progressed a lot as a rider and I’ve made plenty of good mates through this club as well.
“We’ve had plenty of teams good enough to win the league since that first year I came to Wolves, but for some reason we haven’t been able to get over the line.
“But I think if we could keep a pretty similar team to last year we’d have a good solid base to build around to give it another good go at winning that title again.”
