"Leicester no. 1 Magnus Karlsson was a team mate of Matthew Wethers when the Aussie first came in to the Edinburgh side in 2003, and they shared the pleasure of winning the league title. So Matthew is pleased to welcome his Swedish friend in to his Testimonial lineup for the Stormy Wethers meeting on 17th August.

Matthew says “I’m pleased to add Magnus Karlsson to my Testimonial field. It was always enjoyable to have Magnus in the team and it was disappointing when he left, but that’s the way it goes. He was always good fun and whenever I’ve seen him since I’ve always spoken to him and we’ve kept in touch.”

The next event in Matthew’s Testimonial year is a Cycle Speedway meeting on Saturday 21st July at Redbraes in Edinburgh. It’s an all Star meeting involving Edinburgh Falcons, Edinburgh Monarchs and hopefully Glasgow Tigers. Already confirmed: Matty Wethers, Derek Sneddon and Micky Dyer.

RIDERS CONFIRMED FOR THE STORMY WETHERS TESTIMONIAL: Rory Schlein, Lee Complin, James Grieves, Joe Screen, Magnus Karlsson.
