BackstaightBandit 38 Posted March 31 What a weekend for the might Bandits, every single one them proving why they were signed as we dispatched the Comics and collected the Border Trophy. Racing was first class at both venues and a great season opener to wet the whistle before next weeks clash with the Tigers of Glasgow. Workington certainly seem like they could ruffle some feathers over the course of the season with Zischke and Vuolas certainly looking like hot prospects this afternoon and of course super Claus Vissing proving just how brilliant he is once again. This season is sure to be an absolute cracker. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
