Bears lose out at Sheffield
Redcar ‘ECCO Finishing’ Bears suffered a tough night at Sheffield on Thursday night, losing 44-28 with the meeting being abandoned after 12 heats due to the 10pm curfew being reached.
A heat 12 crash involving Bears number 1 Ben Barker and guest Jack Parkinson-Blackburn, which involved both riders being treated on track by the ambulance, was the final action of the night. We wish both riders a very speedy recovery, and will provide an update on their injuries once known.
Jordan Stewart and Mikkel B Andersen continued their fine form at reserve, with Stewart scoring 10+1 and Andersen 8+1. Ex-Bear Charles Wright top scored for the Tigers with 9 points.
