 Redcar SG Petch Bears picked up an excellent two league points, with a thrilling 45-45 draw at Workington on Saturday night.
It was a meeting which swang both ways throughout the night, with neither team holding more than a 4 point advantage at any point. The Bears took an early lead and were 4 up after the opening four heats. Jason Garrity lowered the colours of Craig Cook in heat 1, whilst Jonas B Andersen and Charles Wright notched a 5-1 in heat 3. 

The meeting then swung in favour of the Comets, and by heat 8 they were the side 4 points ahead. Craig Cook and impressive reserve Matt Williamson winning heats for the Comets. The SG Petch Bears hung on though, and started to slowly claw back that deficit with heat wins from Barker, Garrity, Wright and Andersen.

This left the scores tied going into a last heat decider, and the Bears guaranteed at least 1 league point. Craig Cook and Ty Proctor faced Jason Garrity and Charles Wright. Garrity gated, but was passed by Cook. Wright had the better of Proctor and a 3-3 meant a draw on the night and 2 league points for the Bears.

Jason Garrity top scored for the Bears with 12, but it was an excellent night from the top 4 with Wright scoring 10+3, JBA scoring 9 and Barker 8+1.
For the Comets, Craig Cook scored 14 and was upported well by Williamson with 9 from reserve and Proctor with 8.

Redcar SG Petch Bears continued their impressive start to the season with a dominant 58-34 win over local rivals the Newcastle Diamonds at the Media Prima Arena on Thursday night.
With the afternoon showers, the track was slightly tricky at the start of the meeting and a good start was going to be crucial. At the second time of asking in heat 1, the Bears notched a 5-1 and never looked back.

The impressive Ellis Perks won heat two on his way to a career best 15+2 score, the day after reaching the Semi Finals in the British U21 Final at Poole. After a few heats the track settled down nicely and the big crowd were delighted to see some excellent racing. Heat 12 was a particular highlight, with at one point Lewis Rose, Charles Wright and Ellis Perks going down the home straight three abreast before the Bears two pulled away.

Heats 13 and 15 again provided excellent entertainment, with the dynamic duo of Jason Garrity and Ben Barker again scoring 5-1s in both heats. Garrity ended the night with 13+1, and Barker 10+2. 

Bears promoter Kevin Keay was understandably delighted with the performance:

Fantastic result, great effort from all the lads to make sure we didn’t give them a chance of a league point. Ellis was superb and showed what a prospect he is. We go to Workington now full of confidence.

The Bears are next in action on  Saturday night, as they travel to Workington in Championship action.

KYLE Newman has been named in Sunday’s British Semi-Final at Newcastle – thanks to a kind hearted gesture from Charles Wright.

Newman, who is set to return from injury ahead of schedule, was overlooked for the meetings because he was expected to remain on the sidelines.

Now Wright, who has a busy schedule with both Somerset in the Premiership and Redcar in the Championship, has handed his place back for Newman to replace him.

British Speedway vice-chairman Rob Godfrey said: “When Charles became aware of Kyle’s situation, he called us to offer him his place.

“Kyle is keen to do it but obviously we overlooked him initially because we were told he was still likely to be out injured.

“Charles said he believes Kyle can offer more to the meeting because he’s so busy with two clubs and wants to focus on those meetings, which is a tremendous gesture on his part.

“Kyle was delighted when he was told and with Newcastle being his former home track I’m sure he’ll be keen to make it through to the British Final on June 19 at Belle Vue which will be shown live on BT Sport.”

Redcar SG Petch Bears slipped to a second consecutive away defeat, losing 54-38 away at a very strong Ipswich side. 
Inspired by an 18 point maximum from British Champion Danny King, Ipswich took the lead with a 5-1 in the first heat and never looked back.

Jonas B Andersen was again the top scored for the Bears with a battling 9+1, whilst Coty Garcia produced another encouraging display with 5+1
