PREVIEW: REDCAR v BERWICK (CAB DIRECT CHAMP)

REDCAR will look for a BSN Series repeat when they host Berwick in Cab Direct Championship action at the ECCO Arena tonight (Friday).

The Bears slammed the Bandits 58-31 in the first leg of the semi-final recently, and are therefore strong favourites to reach the Final of that competition.

They bring in Ryan Ingram to guest at reserve in place of the injured Ace Pijper, whilst Berwick have Peter Kildemand returning at No.1 as they look to improve not just on their last trip to Teesside but also on a 30-point defeat at Poole on Wednesday. However, Jordan Jenkins has been ruled out due to possible fractured vertebrae.

Bandits manager Stewart Dickson said: “While we always go planning to win, we also have to say that realistically we want to keep any deficit as low as possible to give us an opportunity to get the extra point when the teams meet again later in August.

“Too many of the team didn’t perform at Poole. I am expecting a positive reaction this weekend.”

REDCAR: Charles Wright, Simon Lambert, Jake Mulford, Jason Edwards, Jake Allen, Ryan Ingram, Jody Scott.

BERWICK: Peter Kildemand, Jye Etheridge, Victor Palovaara, Jordan Jenkins R/R, Nick Morris, Jack Smith, Reid Battye.
