Bears continue good run with Eagles win
Redcar Agilia Bears continued their superb run of form, and made it two wins from three this weekend with a good 53-37 win over Eastbourne in Sunday afternoon.
On a warm afternoon, and in front of a good crowd, the meeting started off as a close affair. Eagles captain Edward Kennett won heat with a superb inside pass of both Bears, whilst Bears reserve Nathan Greaves got the better of his Eastbourne counterparts in heat 2. Heat three aw a superb 5-1 from Michael Palm Toft and Jordan Stewart, and the Bears never really looked back from that point.
Ex-Bears number 1 Richard Lawson did prove a thorn in the side all afternoon, with two heat wins and some terrific racing on his way to 12 points. The only slight concern for the Bears came in heat 9, when Aussie star Jordan Stewart lost control in the first bend and careered into the air fence at high speed . After a short delay, and treatment from the paramedics Jordan did get to his feet gingerly, but was withdrawn from the rest of the meeting. We will bring you an update on Jordan’s fitness when we have it.
There was no let up from the Bears however as they continued their good form. Michael Palm Toft roared his way to his first Bears maximum in fine style as he top scored with 15. Erik Riss made a great home debut with 13+1 with Wright getting 9+1. Kasper Andersen again made a solid contribution with 7+2.
