Local pride is at stake as Berwick and Newcastle clash

Berwick co-owner John Anderson has warned his players local pride is at stake in the club's challenge double-header against Newcastle.

Bandits take on the Diamonds home and away over the weekend of the 20-21 March and Anderson is anticipating a fiercely contested brace of meetings.

"Any thought of these matches being anything other than white-hot local derbies can be forgotten," he said.

"These nights are going to be nothing but very intense encounters."

Bandits are seeking to regain the Tyne-Tweed Trophy from the Diamonds, who have won the competition for the last two seasons.
