Redcar set for Scottish Battle
The Redcar “Agilia” Bears head north to take on the Glasgow Tigers who are currently sitting pretty at the top of the SGB Championship. The Tigers are the league’s in-form team and thus this will be a tough evening for the Bears. Both teams are currently undefeated but the Tigers have had the more convincing victories to date with big away wins at Kent and Birmingham respectively.
The Tigers are missing former Bear Jack Smith who has an arm injury which he suffered on Tuesday at Kent, Poole Pirate’s Danyon Hume guests in his place. The Bears are back at full strength as Anders Rowe has returned from his GB pairs bronze medal in Poland.
Additionally, Jade Mudgway has opted to switch the Bears riding order in the continuedabsence of Jordan Stewart. Rider replacement will operate at number 2 whilst Anders Rowe moves into the number 4 position.
Bears team manager Jade Mudgway is excited at the prospect of fixtures against the in-form Championship side, “Tomorrow’s meeting away at Glasgow is going to be a very hard one. Glasgow have been unbeaten home and away so far this year but the Bears are up for the challenge. There is nothing sweeter than beating an in-form team at home so we will try and do just that! I think we are going there at the perfect time for the Bears to be honest, Charles Wright has just come off getting some big points for Belle Vue and Michael Palm Toft is in fine form as well. Additionally, James Sarjeant knows the track really well and Jordan Jenkins has hit the ground running in his first year in the Championship. We also have Anders Rowe back and he is sure to boost the team. Finally, Jake Allen will thrive on the Glasgow track with his all out riding style. I think there is everything to play for and it will be a very tight match!
