Just going off previous comments Jamie Courtney is rumoured Oxford promoter and had seen previously Harris had agreed to ride for both clubs. Or is one or both rumours untrue?

JanAndersen 823 Posted November 7, 2021 Those of us who support teams in the second tier have known for ages that it’s the superior league. Adding Oxford will only strengthen that and I am very much looking forward to seeing them at Armadale and also hopefully paying a visit when Edinburgh race there. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It has been stated that Harris has signed for Berwick so unless Courtney decides different I would think he will be at Shielfield. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Presumably cant promote 2 teams in same league and people have said on here Harris has signed for both Oxford and Berwick? It’s really not complicated. Scott Courtney runs Berwick Jamie Courtney will run Oxford harris has signed for Berwick and has agreed to ride for Oxford when they were planning to run in the premiership Oxford will be championship so Harris will no longer be in the team as he already signed for Berwick 3 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
