Bears opening fixture confirmed!

The S.G. Petch Bears can finally confirm their opening fixtures of 2017 with the news that they will open the season on Thursday 30th March with the ‘Julie Lewis Memorial’ Meeting to be followed by a challenge match on the 6th April against a select side with a major ex Bears connection.

The full details of the meetings have yet to be finalised but the memorial meeting will return to it being a ‘ senior’ rider event with all the 2017 Bears appearing and invitations being sent to other unattached riders who may wish to remind teams of their availability.

As Redcar have been unable to set up a two legged challenge fixture with another championship club it’s been decided to put a select side together and hope to include primarily ex Bears riders which should make for some interesting comparisons with the new look Bears team.
