Report
REDCAR gained an impressive 51-39 win over Leicester in their opening Championship Jubilee League fixture.
Reserve Jordan Jenkins put in a tremendous display at the Ecco Arena to top-score with 12+1, including a second place on the line over Nick Morris in Heat 15.
Erik Riss added 10+1 for the Bears, whilst Kyle Howarth (12) and Morris (11+1) hit double figures for the Lions.
Leicester boss Stewart Dickson said: “It’s a disappointing result and I’m not going to dress it up. They fired much more as a full team whereas we really had only three and a half riders.
“I certainly don’t regard this as ‘only’ the Jubilee League. I want to win every competition we go into, and whilst I don’t want to go overboard about it, we should have been good enough to get at least a point here.”
