Berwick Bandits moved to the top of the SGB Championship with a 51-38 victory over Redcar Bears in the Borders.

The result came after a ten-point defeat on Teesside on Thursday and it was achieved minus Jye Ethridge who was still suffering from a heavy fall at Redcar.

And Aaron Summers had a disappointing night only scoring three points.

Nikolaj Busk Jacobsen was best for the home side with 12 points and he was backed by 11 from David Howe and ten points from Dany Gappmaier.

Thomas Jorgensen was best for Bears with ten points.

In Poland, Great Britain were runners-up in the World Championship.

Tai Woffinden won the Grand Final but Robert Lambert trailed in fourth behind two Russians who took gold.
