Redcar SG Petch Bears travel to Peterborough Panthers this afternoon in the first leg of the KO Cup, with a 5pm start. It’s a meeting that has a little bit of extra spice, as the Panthers promoter Ged Rathbone is a Middesbrough man and a regular attendee at the Media Prima Arena!
Both teams will go into the meeting with plenty of confidence – the Bears after their comfortable win on Thursday over a Russ Hodgson select whilst the PAnthers have completed back to back wins over the Scunthorpe Scorpions in league action.
The meeting will be followed by round 1 of the British Youth Championships, with the second leg of the KO Cup taking place back at Redcar on Thursday evening.
Peterborough – Jack Holder, Simon Lambert, Paul Starke, Ulrich Ostergaard, Kenneth Hansen, Bradley Wilson-Dean, Tom Bacon
Redcar – Jason Garrity, Tobias Busch, Charles Wright, Jonas B Andersen, Ben Barker, Richard Hall, Ellis Perks.
