Bears defeat Brummies!

Redcar Agilia Bears defeated a spirited Birmingham side 51-39 at the Media Prima Arena on Friday night.

It was a perfect start for the Bears, with Lewis Kerr and rider of the night Kasper Andersen getting a 5-1 in heat 1. After 5 heats, the Bears had raced into a 8 point lead and never looked back. There was some entertaining racing on the night though, on a track a bit slicker than normal due to the weather forecast.

It was a solid effort from the Bears, with 6 of the 7 riders recording a win. Captain Charles Wright, only declared fit in the afternoon after dislocating his shoulder riding for Peterborough on Monday night, top scored with 10+1, with Jordan Stewart getting 10 and rider of the night Andersen 9+2.

It was a battling performance from Birmingham however, with Proctor scoring 11 and Ostegaard 10+1. Paco Castagana also battled hard to a good 9 points.

The Bears are next in action next Friday against Sheffield.
