OXFORD CHARGE TO TOP

OXFORD moved back to the top of the National Development League with a convincing 51-39 victory at Workington on Saturday.

It means both of the clubs’ sides lead the way in their respective divisions as the senior Cheetahs team hold first place in the Cab Direct Championship.

The Chargers had three double-figure scorers at Northside with Ryan Kinsley and Henry Atkins both scoring 11 points, whilst reserve Jacob Clouting weighed in with 10+1. Ace Pijper scored 12 for the Comets.

Atkins said: “We pulled together and we got a good victory today.

“It puts us back top of the National League, and of course, we’re also top of the Championship, so we can’t ask for much more than that!

“We took control with the 5-1 in Heat 1 today and we were banging in the 5-1s and 4-2s and we led by at least 10 points for most of the meeting. It was a good day for all of us.”
