Bears suffer heavy defeat at Scunthorpe
Redcar ‘ECCO Finishing Supplies’ Bears fell to a 58-32 defeat at a highly fancied Scunthorpe in the Championship Shield on Friday night.
The meeting started off very tightly, and indeed there was only two points in it after 5 races, with the Scorpions just ahead. However, the Bears had no answer to Worrall, Garrity and Auty in particular and Scunthorpe ended up pulling away from the Bears. Worrall however did suffer an injury in an heat 11 clash with Jonas B Andersen which resulted in a trip to hospital for the Team GB Star. We wish him a speedy recovery.
For the Bears, Theo Pijper was the star of the show with 11 hard earned points. Barker scored 6+2 with Tobias Busch scoring 5+1. It was a tough night for the Bears however, and they will be looking for revenge when the teams meet at the Media Prima Arena on Thursday night.
