The navy white and gold of the Charlemont Chargers suffered there first defeat of the season as they went down 47-43 away at The Deep Bell. The Hailsham Hornets team scored strong throughout the seven and Boris Pletshacher should have had a 5 ride maxiumum if it wasnt for a retirment in his opening heat. The Chargers looked to have a foothold in the meeting all the way through the meeting with the scores level going into heat 15. Team manager Steven Hunt to the astonishment of the traveling away fans both Ewald Dirtl and Wayne Douglas and left out captain and number one Neil Johnstone. The Chargers riders couldnt get close to Flanagan and Pletshacher in finale and finished the meeting disapointingly with a four point loss.
'It must be noted how well Ian Lennon is performing at the moment, taking the R/R riders for Ray he really is racking up the points and more importantly the bonus points to his score. We will wait and see what the GSA brings and then assess who we are going to send out for some coaching.'
Manager Comments
'I am going to get a lot of stick from my team and fans for not sending out Neil but it was a dificult decision to make and I had faith in my two riders. Neil completly understood my reasoning as its something we have done all season but it is proberbly down to me trying to please my riders instead of putting out my strongest line-up. Douglas looked good all night but in heinsight he had not won a meeting but I was hoping Dirtl would come out and do the buisness cause he looked more conistant that Johnstone. Its something for us to look into and learn from but it was a very good result considering we held them but to the very end.'
