This Thursday evening sees something of a landmark fixture at Redbraes Park as an Edinburgh Falcons Junior side takes on a Scottish Schools select. This is the first time two sides drawn entirely from school pupils have raced in an official fixture at the track and it is hoped that further inter-schools racing will take place at Redbraes over the Summer months.
The Scottish Schools side has been selected by Scotland team manager Gavin Kennedy and is drawn from each of the three schools who competed so successfully in the recent schools indoor league at the Jack Kane Centre. Competition winners Queen Anne High School from Dunfermline are represented by two of their highest points scorers, Joel Kelman and Harry Langdale, while the fast-starting Nathan Barrie represents Fife rivals Inverkeithing High School. Liberton High School are represented by the quartet of riders who led them to the runners-up spot, Connor Garvey, Ben Wright, Ted Kanjewe and JP Mason.
The Edinburgh Falcons side will be led by two youngsters from Craigmount High School, Mark Lee and Dougie Morgan. Both riders have posted some impressive scores for the Falcons Senior side recently and will be hoping for more of the same on Thursday. The side is made up by St Mungo's High School pupil, Ewan Kennedy, and three pupils all of whom are still at primary school, Callum Cairney, Sean Hewitson and Paul Lee.
Tapes are up at 6pm and admission is, as always, free.
