Archie Freemen, who suffered a broken leg in his first race for Berwick Bandits Speedway Bullets in their defeat at Belle Bue Colts this afternoon.
Mum Gillian said: “Archie is currently sleeping off sedation, he's had a leg manipulation due to large amount of swelling from leg break of tib and fib. He will hopefully have an op in the morning and will spend 5 to 7 days in hospital.

Why indeed, the Berwick riders had a duty to be ready for the fixture as they had enough time to get the necessary preparations in place to be ready, though they probably weren't helped by the club agreeing to a KO Cup fixture straight off, poor planning and a poor excuse.
Firstly, we are in England thankfully .
The meeting being off tonight comes as no surprise giving the weather in Berwick this week. Monday was lovely, since then we have had showers and longer spells of rain each day.
