CHEETAHS NAME TEAM FOR ’23

OXFORD have completed moves for Sam Masters and Lewis Kerr (pictured) as part of a new-look septet for their second season back in the Championship.

Scott Nicholls, who completes a strong top three, is one of only two riders to return from the Cheetahs’ 2022 line-up along with Cameron Heeps.

The Cowley side also include three riders who competed for their Chargers NDL side this year – Jordan Jenkins, who rode in the second tier for Redcar, Henry Atkins and Luke Killeen.

Team boss Peter Schroeck said: “Sam is a great coup for us, and we are delighted to have him on board. He has been a tremendous asset for Edinburgh and developed significantly as a rider during his time north of the border.

“Lewis really shone at Oxford during his appearances for Redcar last season and will bring a lot to the team, as will Scott and Cameron who we believe has great potential and is a steal for his average

“What’s especially pleasing is to have three Chargers riders step up to represent the Cheetahs in 2023. Jordan, Henry and Luke are all fully deserving of this promotion, and we wish them every success with us in the second tier.”
