BERWICK are pressing ahead with team building plans and already have two riders in place for their 2025 side.
The Bandits have confirmed that Rider of the Year Drew Kemp (pictured) and Danyon Hume will both be back at Shielfield Park next season. Kemp commented: “I loved every minute of last season and I would also like to thank the supporters for making me so welcome. I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else and I’m delighted to come back next season. “Having been at reserve for most of my career before this, it was a natural progression to become an established top five rider. Next year I’ll probably start in one of the heat leader roles and that will be a new level with new goals.” Hume added: “It’s a fair trek up from Buckinghamshire every week but Berwick proved last year that we are a real family club and one that sticks together even when things are not going so well. “The fans and promotion were awesome in 2024 and it didn’t take long for me to say yes when Stewart (Dickson) and Jamie (Courtney) approached me with an offer for next season. “I love the club and love riding at Shielfield, although one of the aims for 2025 is to pick up a few more points on the road.”
