Sarjeant stars as Redcar run riot!
Redcar picked up a huge away win in their pursuit of a place in the Championship top 4 with a 41-49 away success against Kent. The Bears always looked likely for an away win of some description as they were never behind on the night and the Teesside outfit duly delivered to re-ignite their end of season title hopes.
Redcar guest Drew Kemp put in another stellar display with 11+2 whilst Jake Allen hit an impressive 13 points on his first visit to Central Park. Kent’s challenge was led by their evergreen skipper Scott Nicholls who scored 13 points and he was ably supported by Paul Starke who also hit 13. Michael Palm-Toft lowered the colours of Nicholls in heat 13 which helped secure the Bears the win. In other news, rider replacement for the injured Jordan Stewart paid off this evening as paid 8 was gained from Stewart’s rides.
James Sarjeant rode extremely well on the evening to score 10 points from his 5 rides which also included a tapes exclusion. Sarjeant was delighted to finally see his recent efforts in Bears colours pay off, “I’m happy with the points I scored tonight to show for the effort I have been putting in with little track time and issues I have been having with my bikes. I’m absolutely buzzing to get 10 points and see the Bears get all 4 league points on the night!”
