Bears take point from Glasgow

Redcar Agilia Bears took a point from the first of their three meetings this weekend, losing 48-42 at Glasgow on Friday night.

The Tigers are riding high this season, and sit pretty at the top of the Championship. They showed why on Friday night, and indeed won 12 of the 15 heats. Despite only have three heat wins though, the Bears battled hard all night and only recorded 6 last places to keep the score tight throughout.

Erik Riss top scored for the Bears with a good 12 points, with new British Champion Charles Wright scoring 10+1 which included a win over Craig Cook. Claus Vissing top scored for the hosts with 13.

The Bears now move on to Berwick tonight hoping to get an important win. It will be a tough meeting against a side who are very strong at home though. And then on Sunday afternoon, the Bears welcome Eastbourne to the Media Prima Arena.
