CHARGERS TAME TIGERS
OXFORD collected their second away win in the WSRA NDL this season with a 49-41 victory at Middlesbrough on Friday.
The Chargers have moved to within one point of league leaders Leicester, who have a match in hand, thanks to the result on Teesside.
William Cairns again served notice of his ability in a guest appearance, scoring 14 from five rides for Oxford, whilst Luke Killeen notched 11. Jake Mulford top-scored for the Tigers with 10.
Oxford reserve Senna Summers (5+2) said: “I had a good night. I felt comfortable on the bike. I plugged away tonight and made it work. It was a good for my confidence.
“In Heat 8, once Jacob (Clouting) came past, I thought I just need a smooth ride now. Smooth ride, smooth laps, and we took the 5-1.
“We’re not put any under pressure. It’s just laps and we’re progressing. It will come to how I want it, while it is enjoyable riding for the Chargers.”
Cairns also enjoyed success in the British Youth Championship, winning the 500cc section ahead of Jamie Etherington and William Hocaniuk. Jack Scully-Syer won the 125cc support class.
