Dominant Bears take another victory

For the the third home meeting on the trot, Redcar Agilia Bears ran out 53-37 winners, this time dispatching the Tigers back to Sheffield.

The Bears started the meeting off in the best possible way, with Erik Riss and Kasper Andersen – against his former club – teaming up for a 5-1 in Heat One. Two 4-2’s in the next 5 heats saw the Bears extend their advantage to eight and from that point on the points looked set to go to the hosts.

Heat 9 saw probably the best race of the night with first Jordan Stewart, and then Michael Palm Toft, getting their way past Kyle Howarth for another big Bears 5-1. Sheffield battle hard throughout the night however, with Danny King, Howarth and Todd Kurtz in particular impressing for the visitors.

They were no match for the Bears on the night however. Michael Palm Toft continued his good run of form with 13+1, with Charles Wright scoring 11. It was another solid team effort however, with Tom Woolley having his best night as a Bear with 3+3.

Don’t forget there is more action at the Media Prima Arena on Thursday as we play host to the British Under 19 Championship.
