Bears in heavy defeat
Redcar Ecco Finishing Supplies Bears fell to their heaviest defeat of the season, losing 69-21 away to Edinburgh on Friday night.
It was a very tough night for the Bears, with not a single heat winner. Edinburgh racked up five 5-1s in the opening five heats in a very poor start for the Bears, and things never looked like getting any better. Thomas Jorgensen and Jonas B Andersen top scored for the Bears on the night with 6 points each.
Erik Riss top scored for Edinburgh with an untroubled 15 point maximum, whilst 3 other riders also got paid maximums.
Bears fans are reminded there is no action at the Media Prima Arena next Thursday. The Bears are away at Sheffield on Thursday 9th August, facing the Tigers at the Media Prima Arena on Friday 10th.
