King: Saturday has given us confidence!
REDCAR star Danny King believes that Saturday’s thrilling 46-44 BSN Series Final home win over the treble chasing Poole Pirates has given his side the confidence to finish the job and win the BSN Series title. The Bears travel to Dorset once again with tapes up at 7:30pm.
King, who boasts an impressive 8.76 average in 2025, was happy with his side’s display against the league champions. King said, “ It was a good performance from the side. It was important for our confidence to win and the performance shows that we deserve to be in these finals, but this time, we are aiming to come out with the gold medal instead of silver.”
The Brit was also happy with the performance of his compatriot Jake Mulford against the Pirates. King said, “ Jake is finishing the season really strongly, he had a bit of a dip mid-season when he probably took a little too much on but he’s come back well and he’s in good form.”
The former Pirate knows the importance of starting well if the Bears are to win the trophy. King said, “ We need to hit the ground running from the off, it’s really important that we get off to a good start.”
The 39-year-old is ready for any surface that is produced at Wimborne Road. King said, “ If the track is similar to how it was for Poole v Glasgow then it will be from the gate but with the weather forecast looking a little unsettled, that may help put some moisture into the track which will produce more material which suits me.”
Redcar are forced into using rider replacement at number two for Erik Riss with no suitable guest options available. Jake Mulford moves to number four for the “Agilia” Bears whilst Middlesbrough’s Stene Pijper is at number eight.
Meanwhile, Poole, the reigning BSN Series champions are at full strength with their middle order pairing of Lewis Kerr and Zach Cook looking to continue their red-hot form.
