Bank of Scotland Commonwealth Games team members made their final preparations before leaving for Manchester in the 11th round of Meadowbank Track League placing 1, 2 and 3 on the night. The field was lead by Richard Chapman who scored 8 points with wins in the Devil and 40 Lap Scratch. Ross Muir scored 7 points after winning the opening 15 Lap Scratch and taking 2nd in the 40 Lap Scratch in which he and Chapman Lapped the field. Teammate James McCallum made it a clean sweep scoring 5 points with second places in the Devil and 15 Lap Scratch and a heat win in the 500m Handicap.
