Bears take on the Scorpions

Redcar ‘ECCO Finishing Supplies’ Bears make the trip to Lincolnshire to take on the Scunthorpe Scorpions tonight, in Championship Shield action (7:30pm start).

It will be the Bears first track action of the season, after their home opener was postponed yesterday, although Theo Pijper and Matej Kus have both rode in individual meetings elsewhere. Scunthorpe is a track the Bears normally perform well at, although this year sees a new look Scunthorpe side which features last years Bears number 1 Jason Garrity as well as Team GB star Steve Worrall. 

It is also a new look Bears side for this season, with only Ben Barker, Tobias Busch and Jonas B Andersen returning from last season. Mikkel B Andersen and Jordan Stewart will make their debuts in British Speedway, while Matej Kus returns to the Bears after a couple of seasons away and Theo Pijper comes in as a strong number 7.

Safe journey to all Bears fans making the trip!
