Wantage Kings have stuck a toe in the water and made two team changes.
In comes the superb Adam Bridgett on a full transfer from sister club Durham Speed Demons for a £16k fee, he is joined by Kings asset Yrjo Eskelinen.
Sadly Matija Petkovic a big player for a long time is on offer as a loan or full transfer, Mike Lowry goes off loan to Blunsdon but the deal is reignited as Mike will replace Adam at Durham.
Fingers crossed improvements will be seen.

Early signs that both incoming riders are showing the tenacity to excite the Kings faithful.
Both riders have been having laps around the Ridgeway and getting to know their team-mates at a bonding session taking in Uffington Castle, the White Horse and Dragon Hill, the climb was putting some strength into the riders legs and the sights up there were breathtaking, whilst the Castle drew in plenty of conversations, so things bode well for the Kings.
