THE head coach of Fife Cycle Speedway is confident they'll be ready to pedal to stronger challenges next season as they prepare to bring the curtain down on the current campaign.

Craig Masson said that the league tables "might not reflect just how pleased and proud we are of the progress that the riders are making" as the club's Fife Revolutions team prepare for their final SPAR Scottish League match this weekend.

They travel to Newcastle on Sunday having already clinched the title, achieved at the last round, but could also still win the junior league title, whilst Eva Grandison could finish top in the women's individual grand prix.

In the British Cycling North and Scotland League Division One, however, the Revolutions finished bottom, whilst in Division Two, which they won for a third time last year, since the club's formation in 2016, they just missed out on the end of season play-offs.

However, Craig said: "The league tables might not reflect just how pleased and proud we are of the progress that the riders are making.

"Next year, you'll see a big difference again, with the influx of riders we've had from the younger age groups, they will be racing probably in Division Two next season, and that will allow us to move more people up into Division One.

"Through that, we've just got wee conveyer belt of talent coming through, and hopefully that keeps us challenging, not only in Division Two but making a real effort at starting to challenge in Division One.

"Division One was a tough one. We came last in Division One, but we managed to introduce two new riders into that league, and they've done really well, progressed really well, because of that.

"In Division Two, we just narrowly missed out on a play-off spot to Edinburgh, by a point, in that league, but the new format of that seemed to be successful, where all the teams do a round robin, at each track, and race each other. It provided better racing, having all the teams there at the same time.

"For the Scottish League, we've already been crowned champions for that. We managed to win that in the Glasgow leg, and there's still a chance we can win the junior Scottish League, and Eva Grandison is in contention of winning the women's individual grand prix.

"We've still got a wee bit to race for, in the last match, which is pleasing that it's going to the end of the season."

The club, which will host its end of season awards next month, host their final training evening of the current campaign this evening (Thursday), at 6.30pm, at its custom-built track within the grounds of Queen Anne High School.
