Edwards: Better times are coming!
Redcar star Jason Edwards has reassured supporters that better times are coming for the “Agilia” Bears. Redcar travel to Glasgow tonight in Cab Direct Championship action with tapes up at 7:30 in Scotland.
Edwards, who has been in fine form this season, is full of belief that the results will turn for his side, “We all need to stick together, in a lot of meetings this season we have been losing out by a couple of points here and a couple of points there. I do believe we are not far away from becoming a very good side and if we stick together, better times will be coming soon!”
The British youngster has also urged his side to draw on last year’s KO Cup meeting at Glasgow, when the Bears came out 48-42 winners on away soil, “ Glasgow is always a tough place to go but we went there last season in the cup and came out with the win, and with having a track specialist like Connor (Bailey), I think we will have a good meeting.”
The Bears asset is happy with his start to the season, with the Redcar number 4 establishing an impressive 7.49 (inc. bonus points) average in the early stages of 2024, “ It has been nice to have a good start to the season and score some good points, which is what I need to be doing in both leagues. Despite the results not being what we would have wanted so far this season, there is a really good atmosphere at Redcar, so we have just got to keep plugging away to turn these defeats into victories.”
Glasgow hand a debut to their new signing at reserve, Jack Smith. Smith, a former Bear has been guesting for the Tigers after Lee Complin’s ban from the sport and the Glasgow asset has been the side’s match winner against Workington and Oxford at home. The Tigers have the British legend, Chris Harris at number 1, whilst James Pearson has been performing well for the Tigers at number 4.
Redcar are once again forced to track guests with Jonas Knudsen ruled out with a concussion that he suffered in Poland whilst Danny King remains sidelined with a broken hand. The Bears promotion have called on the services of Danyon Hume to guest at number 2 whilst Workington’s Tate Zischke slots in at number 5 for Danny King.
