(SPEEDWAY 1) PHIL Morris and Stoke have agreed by mutual consent to part company. The Welshman has struggled to find his form of the early weeks of the season, and the Potters are now seeking a replacement. Morris said: "My recent performances were below what both I and the promotion expected. There are no ill feelings on my part and I wish the team all the best." (SPEEDWAY 2) EDINBURGH bring back two former winners when they stage the Scottish Open at Armadale on Friday. Glasgow's Shane Parker and Berwick's Stan Burza compete in the 16-rider field, although current holder Rory Schlein misses out due to injury. Fraser McDowell of event sponsors Keyline said: "We enjoy this night, and any one of about ten riders could win it. I have a sneaky feeling Mr Parker will be well up for it." (SPEEDWAY 3)BERWICK have made the exciting capture of 20-year-old German rider Frank Facher who will make his Bandits debut on Saturday.Facher replaces local youngster Greg Blair who requires a minor operation, although his long-term future remains with the club.Bandits boss Dave Peet said: "Frank has expressed a great desire to ride for Berwick, and his scores and performances on the World Under-21 scene have been exceptional."

(SPEEDWAY 4)STOKE have filled the gap left by Phil Morris's departure by signing Robert Ksiezak - who himself has recently left Birmingham.The Potters had hoped to move for Ksiezak during the winter, and are looking for the Australian to regain top form at Loomer Road.Promoter Dave Tattum said: "Robert has a good record here when he's been a visiting rider, and I'm sure he will fit in well."
