Bears can bounce back after play-off defeat

DANNY King has emphasised that having just three days between matches means that Redcar can respond quickly to their playoff defeat by Poole when they travel to Dorset to face the same side in the first leg of the Knock-Out Cup Final tonight.

- By KEITH McGHIE

King is the senior statesman in the Agilia Bears side at 39 and has been in similar positions before.

He comes even fresher from a more satisfactory result riding for Ipswich in the Premier League Grand Final where the Witches won 47-43 at Leicester on Monday, so is confident of adding some silverware to his collection before the season is finished.

For now, he must concentrate on the Bears’ hopes and will be looking to score more than his five-point haul against Poole in the six-point loss, 12 on aggregate, against the Pirates three days ago.
