BEARS SECURE PLAY-OFF PLACE

REDCAR confirmed their place in the Cab Direct Championship play-offs with a 45-43 win in a last-heat decider at Scunthorpe.

The Bears will finish third in the league table and that means they are set for a semi-final clash with defending champions Poole.

An unusual meeting at the Eddie Wright Raceway saw both teams collect a 5-0, with the Redcar maximum coming in Heat 14 to put them ahead.

Youngster Luke Harrison won Heat 15 for the home side but guest Antti Vuolas and Charles Wright kept Jake Allen at the back to secure the away win.

Wright scored 11+2 from five rides and Danny King collected nine, including three race wins, whilst Harrison (10+1) and Allen (10) led the way for the Scorpions in their final meeting of the season.
