Riders Final

With tracks trying to fit in fixtures and ease travel arrangements the Redcar Bears fixture at Newcastle scheduled for this coming Sunday has been postponed.
Workington will now ride at Newcastle this week and the Bears thank both Newcastle and Workington for their cooperation.
It is hoped that both outstanding Bears fixtures can be arranged shortly.
Tickets for the end of season awards night are selling well and can be purchased on line using the club hotline 01642 040302

With Sheffield Tigers looking to arrange a possible Play Off Final match this coming week the fixture against the Bears has now been postponed.

The rained off Championship riders final has now been rescheduled for Saturday 14th October.
There is no news on possible alternative dates for the Bears fixture as a number of clubs try to arrange both play off final matches and K.O. Cup matches.

Bears remaining two away league fixtures have now been confirmed as taking place at SHEFFIELD on Thursday 28th September and at NEWCASTLE on Sunday 1st October.
The Bears are still looking at gaining more league points to maintain their fifth place in the championship table and make it their highest ever finish since they were formed in 2006.

The S.G. Petch Bears will have two riders representing the club at Glasgow on Sunday in the Championship Riders final but unfortunately one will not be Jason Garrity.
Due to his injuries Jason has given up his position and it will be taken by Teesside Silver Helmet winner Charles Wright.
Charles joins Ben Barker in a very competitive field and we wish them all the best in getting a rostrum place like the Bears David Bellego achieved in 2016.
Those fans who need their speedway fix are encouraged to call in and watch the N.J.L. 4 team tournament this Saturday at the Media Prima Arena which starts at 11am and it’s FREE to get in.

Redcar SG Petch Bears will have two representatives at this Sunday’s Championship Riders Final at Glasgow, with captain Ben Barker and Jason Garrity lining up to represent the Bears 3pm start.

In what is a cracking lineup, it is hard to pick a winner but the Bears pair will certainly be in there with a shout. Admission is £20 for Adults, Concessions £15 and Children 5-16 £5. There are 20 heats, plus race off and Grand Final. Good luck to Ben and Jason!

Lineup:

1. S Worrall
2. J Garrity
3. L Kerr
4. R Wells
5. D King
6. N Morris
7. C Harris
8. J Grajczonek 
9. K Howarth
10. C Cook
11. R Lawson
12. S Masters
13. R Worrall
14. R Schlein
15. B Barker
16. J Holder

Tonights away between at Sheffield has unfortunately been postponed due to the weather.

A restaging date will be announced when known. 

Redcar SG Petch Bears travel to Sheffield this evening, for their penultimate meeting of the 2017 season with a 7:45pm start.

Sheffield go into the meeting without Kyle Howarth, who is riding for Wolverhampton the Premier League. Chris Harris will guest in his place.

Tobias Busch returns to the Bears line up after missing the last couple of meetings riding in the German Championships (where he finished 3rd, congratulations to Tobias!). There are still question marks over Jason Garrity, who has been struggling with a nasty shoulder injury and Danny Ayres who has been ill over the weekend. If Jason is not fit, the Bears will run rider replacement. 

Sheffield: Josh Grajczonek, r.r for Todd Kurtz, Lasse Bjerre, Josh Bates, Chris Harris, Jan Graversen, Gerogie Wood
Redcar: Ben Barker, Ellis Perks, Jason Garrity or r/r, Jonas B Andersen, Charles Wright, Tobias Busch, Danny Ayres tbc

Unfortunately, due to heavy rain this afternoon the SG Petch Bears away meeting this evening has been postponed.

The Bears are next in action tomorrow night at Sheffield.
