Edwards: We are a real unit!

REDCAR star Jason Edwards has praised the togetherness that has been built by the “Agilia” Bears septet ahead of this afternoon’s BSN Series group decider at Workington. Redcar travel to the GT Tyres Arena for the final group match with tapes up at 3pm. 

Redcar know that securing the aggregate bonus point will be enough to secure a semi-final berth in the BSN Series. Redcar begin today’s meeting with a 12 point aggregate advantage from last week’s ECCO Arena encounter. 

Edwards, who is in superb form, has lavished praise on the group’s togetherness ahead of today’s clash. Edwards said, “ When you look across British Speedway there aren’t many teams. We are a real unit who work together and that’s showing with our results.”

Edwards, who will be competing in his first British Final on Monday, is happy with the club’s start to the season. Edwards said, “ We have started really well, we don’t have the best record in the BSN Series so if we can push on, it’s the chance of silverware for us.”

‘The Billericay Blaster’ knows the potential in the Bears side could mean a special season on Teesside. Edwards said, “ With the team we have got we have the potential to go really far this season if we can keep going but on the whole we have had a good start to 2025.”

The Redcar number three believes his side can take advantage of the fact that Workington have only raced at home once this season. Edwards said, “ Workington have only had one home meeting and some of their riders are new to the league. Additionally, they struggled at Scunthorpe last night so that will give us confidence that we can do a job.”

Redcar once again track a full 1-7 with Ace Pijper returning to his former club. The hosts have also declared a full strength septet with their skipper Troy Batchelor looking to improve on a disappointing showing for himself and the side at Scunthorpe last night.
