Chargers Hit The Heights Against Castaways
Charlemont Chargers really answered promoter Steven Hunt's war cry by casting away Canvey Island 53-37 in an impressive home display in the Power League. Chargers have jumped out of the relegation spots with the win and really showed what the side is capable of. Its been a difficult season for The Pride who have had little to cheer about other than the cup run. The unfortunate Castaways have had a good season so far sitting half way up the Power League and the home fans would not have expected this result.
Manager Comments
'What a great performance, we have had this in us all season and its great to finally show it. The side is strong, but we have to improve more. Its a shame Marjan because he is trying very hard and he has got it in him to do damage at reserve but like tonight when you have a majority of the riders having a top night then you end up with a top result'
'We need to kick on now, the season is coming up to half way and we can either go one of two ways, were 3 points off the top or 2 points off the bottom that is how close it is. We know we need to stay up this year and set the foundations for next season but were not writing off going to the top league as soon as possible. Its been a massive stride up the leagues and look at the riders we have at the All Saints riding for us, Ostenstad, Moursin and Gustafsson are riders who could break into the world champs and ride in the top league and we have them riding for us, it amazing for the fans to watch this quality in their own side.'
'Onto the next one, we have Chantry away from home and to kick on this season we need our third away win and to keep our away form up. Its been a strange year that tonight is only our first win at home, it was becoming a concern but hopefully we have put those demons to bed now an make us a all round balanced team home and away. We have won 2 away and drawn one so maybe the riders have not got used to this track till now and after tonight meeting we have opened the track for practice to the side and Tyler Sweetman so they can get dialed in to the track and get some track time to booster confidence and get rid of mechanical gremlins.'
