Bears defeat the Scorpions

Redcar ‘Ecco Finishing Supplies’ Bears enjoyed a good night at home against Scunthorpe on Thursday night, running out 52-38 winners at the Media Prima Arena.

It was a solid all round effort from the Bears, but it was at reserve where the meeting was really won. Man of the meeting Mikkel B Andersen rode superbly for his 15 points, and was supported well by Jordan Stewart with 9+3. Every Bear, apart from the very unfortunate Tobias Busch who had to withdraw after an awkward looking fall, managed to win a heat though on a good night for the side.

Ex-Bears number 1 provided the main challenge to the Bears, with an excellent 14+1, with Josh Auty battling very hard indeed for his 9+1 points.
