Champions back in action

THE Capital's newly-crowned European Masters champions will be back on familiar territory tonight for the latest round of the Meadowbank National Track League.

Bruce Croall (City of Edinburgh) and Alison Chisholm (Edinburgh RC) returned from Manchester at the weekend with a total of five medals between them – three being of the gold variety – as well as the distinctive champion's jersey which they are now entitled to wear.

Tonight's round of racing will be a warm-up for more top class action this weekend when the London Road Velodrome is the venue for the Edinburgh Festival Grand Prix, the final major track event in the Capital this year.
