Hume injury update from Bandits bosses
Hume (pictured by Taz McDougall) is being assessed at the Northumbria Specialist Care Hospital in Cramlington following the heat 12 crash which also involved Edinburgh reserve Jonatan Grahn who hit the fence heavily as he exited the final bend of the race.
He has been a popular racer during spells with Glasgow, Redcar, Ipswich and Sheffield and paramedics spent over half an hour treating him trackside.
The 28-year-old was then transferred to hospital where he remains with his partner, Jade, who was in the crowd watching the match when the incident happened.
Hume's parents travelled overnight from their Buckinghamshire home to be at his bedside and Jade posted on Facebook: 'Obviously the news is not what we want, but we are thinking positive at the moment.
'We would both like to thank everyone, all Berwick management, the track staff, ambulance crew, our friends, family and all the fans at Berwick speedway. Everyone rallied around.'
Berwick owner Jamie Courtney said: 'Our paramedics and track staff were able to give Danyon the best possible care trackside and get him on his way to hospital safely.
'The fans in the stadium and all the riders were aware of the potentially serious nature of the crash and I can only thank them for their patience and understanding as the medical team did their work.'
He added: 'This crash underlines just what a dangerous and unforgiving sport speedway can be and how a race, which seemed to be heading for an uneventful shared heat, can suddenly have huge consequences.
'Danyon is one of the sport's real good guys and we are keeping our fingers crossed. We will support him and his family in every way necessary.'
Berwick's strict 9.30pm curfew meant that the meeting was abandoned but the results stands and Bandits are next in action at Oxford on Wednesday.

English star, 21, cruelly BANNED from bagging £58,000 winnings as she stuns field to win first-ever European Tour event
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) AN ENGLISH golfer was cruelly DENIED from taking home a £58,000 cheque after winning the Women's Irish Open. Due to Lottie Woad's amateur status her first-place winnings have been awarded to Sweden's Madelene Sagstrom, who finished second. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 English golfer Lottie Woad put on a masterclass to secure her first Ladies European Tour title 2 But the English golfer has been denied the £58,000 top prize due to her amateur status Woad carded a four-under final-round 69 to claim her first Ladies European Tour title in dominant fashion with a six-shot win. The 21-year-old made history as the first amateur player in three years to triumph on the Euro Tour, finishing on 21-under overall. Woad hit the front in windy conditions on Friday, extended her lead to seven strokes in Saturday's third round and made six birdies and two bogeys on Sunday to cruise home at Carton House. But, she won't see a penny of the prize money for her incredible performance, with the top prize instead going to the runner-up.

If Woad held a professional tour card, she would've walked away five figures richer for her efforts. Despite being banned from the winnings, Woad said: "No, I'm not tempted to turn pro yet. I'm still trying to get my final two points for the LPGA. "I'm trying to get those and then we will see what happens after that. It means a lot to get the win."

Kyogo insists he has NO regrets over Celtic exit as he opens up on troubled Rennes spell
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) HOOPS hero Kyogo Furuhashi recently joined up with English side Birmingham City, and has now spoken to the club and fans there for the first time. The Celtic favourite left Glasgow in January for French side Rennes but had a torrid time, exiting the club after just six months. Sign up for the Celtic newsletter Sign up 3 Celtic favourite Kyogo left the club in January Credit: Kenny Ramsay 3 He went on to have a troubled half-season at Rennes Credit: Alamy 3 He's opened up having now joined Championship side Birmingham City Credit: Alamy Now Kyogo's hoping to once again find the form and enjoyment that made him so popular at Parkhead with the newly promoted and high-flying Blues in the English Championship. He told Blues+: 'I'm very happy to be here. I'm looking forward to working together with you all. 'I get fired up more in bigger games, but I score goals because of team-mates, so I'm grateful for that. I'd like to achieve the same here, and hopefully my goals will make everyone happy. 'I have good memories (from Celtic) with lots of titles, so it was a wonderful three and a half, four years. Lots of fans still say hello to me, so I felt I was really lucky. "But this is a new place, and I'd like to do my best here. 'I'm here to help the team. I'd like to express what I can do on the pitch. 'I don't want to talk a lot, but there's a chance that we can go up to the Premier League. We all want to aim for that and after nine months, it will be great if we share the happiness of achieving that. "There might be more pressure, but we will enjoy playing together on the pitch and fighting. "Honestly I'm introvert and shy but if it makes everyone happy I'll do what I can outside the pitch. "But on the pitch, I'd like to be a player to lead the team." Will Adam Idah still be at Celtic next season after failing to take Kyogo's jersey On his troubled spell in France, he added: "It was a difficult time for me, but I don't have any regrets going there. "I've gained some experience, so I'd like to use that here." And he's got not just a fellow countryman but a former Hoops teammate there with him to help him settle in. He said: "I'm happy to be able to play with Tomoki [Iwata] again, and he said the same too. So we'd like to aim to be in the Premier League together. "Everyone wants to play for the national team and it's the same for any country. I'd like to be in it and aspire to go to the World Cup."

Cam Norrie up for the challenge as he aims to dethrone Carlos Alcaraz
The 29-year-old reached the semi-final in 2022, which was the last time Spanish superstar Alcaraz lost a match in SW19. Since then Norrie has dropped from eight in the world to a low of 91 while Alcaraz, 22, has won two Wimbledons, two French Opens and a US Open. Norrie came through a five-setter against Nicolas Jarry (Jordan Pettitt/PA) The second seed has not looked entirely convincing so far this fortnight, however, dropping four sets including the first in his win over Andrey Rublev on Sunday evening. Norrie, meanwhile, is on the verge of returning to the top 50 and is playing some of his best tennis since that run here three years ago. But the Johannesburg-born left-hander will still go into Tuesday's showdown as a huge underdog. 'I think it only gets tougher from now,' he said. 'I've played a lot of tough matches already. Now it only gets tougher. What a match! Huge congratulations to Cameron Norrie for reaching the quarter-finals, we're all cheering you on. It's been brilliant to see so much British talent on court at Wimbledon this year, you have all done us proud. — Keir Starmer (@Keir_Starmer) July 6, 2025 'There's still lots of matches to be played and lots of matches to be won. 'I'm going to play point-for-point as always, and I'm really happy with how I pulled up after the (Jarry) match. 'My body feels good, and I'm in a good place. I've been hitting the ball well. I'm happy to be sure, but (still) a long way away.' Alcaraz is taking nothing for granted, insisting facing Norrie on home soil is 'almost a nightmare'. Norrie has beaten the world number two twice, including their last meeting in the final in Rio two years ago. 'First of all, facing Cam is always really, really difficult,' said Alcaraz. 'We had really difficult battles already. 'Yeah, for me facing him is almost a nightmare to be honest. Really tough from the baseline. I'm not surprised he's in the quarter-finals playing great tennis because I've seen him practice. 'He's playing at home, as well, so he's going to use the crowd on his side. I have to be really strong mentally and focused to play good tennis if I want to beat him.' Norrie is now the last home player left in either draw after Sonay Kartal's defeat by Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova earlier on Sunday. 'I would have liked to have seen some more guys go deeper,' he added. 'Obviously we had a lot of wins in the first couple of rounds. Carlos Alcaraz awaits in the quarter-finals (Adam Davy/PA) 'But I'm not really caring too much if I'm the last Brit standing or if they're all here. 'It would be nice to have a few more to kind of deflect and have lots of people to cheer for, and I think in years to come that's going to be the case. 'I'm just taking care of my business and really enjoying my tennis at the moment.'
