SCUNTHORPE boss Rob Godfrey has vowed “we can now win the league” after snapping up Drew Kemp.
The Scorpions have already made a strong start to the season before swooping for the hot prospect Brit kid earlier this week.
Now they face Redcar at the Eddie Wright Raceway tonight, live on BSN, hoping to go top of the Cab Direct Championship with a win.
Godfrey said: “With the arrival of Drew, I truly believe we have a team now that can win the league. It’s going to be a very exciting few months ahead!
“We’ve still got to take it one meeting at a time. We start with the visit of Redcar, in our first home league match in the Cab Direct Championship.
“Meetings between Scunthorpe and Redcar at the Eddie Wright Raceway always seem to be packed with excitement. It was true for our Good Friday clash with Bears in the BSN Series, and it’s almost bound to be the case again.
“We beat Bears by 50-40 on Good Friday, and I’d like to see another comfortable home win for Scorpions, because aggregate bonus points are all-important in the league this season.
“It’s going to be another exciting evening of racing at the EWR, and one that the supporters do not want to miss.”
Scorpions have already taken part in away league meetings at Plymouth, Berwick, Poole and Edinburgh, and head into the meeting in good spirits following a record-breaking 54-36 away victory at Edinburgh’s Armadale Stadium last Friday.
However, they take on an in-form Redcar who produced a stunning win at Glasgow to progress to the KO Cup semi-finals on Tuesday night.
Bears skipper Charles Wright said: “Things are going great. The team are all working for each other and getting the results.”

Scunthorpe: Ryan Douglas, Simon Lambert, Drew Kemp, Jake Allen, Michael Palm Toft, Nathan Ablitt, Connor Mountain.
