The start to the 2017 season has not been the way the Olympus Marquees Berwick Bandits (powered by Mike Hope, Wooler) would have scripted.
Bandits currently prop up the SGB Championship table but the managerial committee are not losing faith.
Team manager Gary Havelock now faces a weekend triple header starting at second-placed Parsons Peebles Edinburgh Monarchs on Friday (tapes-up 7.30pm).
Then, Bandits host league pace-setters Glasgow Tigers on Saturday before the return at Glasgow on Sunday,
Havelock said: “We’ve had some great racing even if the results have not come our way, but I honestly believe this weekend might not be too bad for us.
“We could do ok at Edinburgh as that track it right up Lewis (Bridger’s) street.
“It’s tight and technical and Lewis knows how to ride those tracks well and Claus (Vissing) rode for them in 2013 too so will know Armadale well.
“Kevin (Doolan) should be ok up there too. After last weekend they might underestimate us and treat it as a walk in the park. We’ll be up for a fight.”
