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. The 500m Handicap saw an epic ride from the front by youth rider Tom McKay in a blanket finish with Kate Cullen just edging out another Commonwealth Games rider Marco Librizzi who had been pulled 3m for a false start.

Overall, Evan Oliphant continues to head the League with Muir taking over from Martin Lonie at the top of the B Season league.
