The Redcar Bears have suffered a major blow as they head to Wimborne Road this evening (Wednesday 12th October) without their skipper Charles Wright.

The Pirates, seeking the first leg of a season treble and a successful defence of the Knockout Cup, go in to the meeting with a seven point advantage from last Friday's first leg.
