CONFERENCE<br />
LEAGUE SOUTH<br />
UPDATE<br />
WRITTEN BY CHRIS WILSON<br />
ON THE CHARGE!<br />
London Chargers have<br />
announced their arrival in the<br />
Conference League South by<br />
beating both of last season’s<br />
Grand Finalists in their opening<br />
two matches.<br />
They followed their 23-16 win<br />
over Valley Cougars with a 26-16<br />
defeat of champions Nottingham<br />
Outlaws last weekend.<br />
23<br />
The Chargers were formed from<br />
an amalgamation of the West<br />
London Sharks and the South<br />
London Storm and went on to<br />
dominate the London league as<br />
well as winning the national Harry<br />
Jepson Trophy three years in a<br />
row.<br />
An application to join the CLS<br />
was the logical progression and<br />
they have justified their inclusion<br />
with two good wins and a place<br />
in the leading pack at the head of<br />
the table.<br />
The Chargers are third on points’<br />
difference as the Outlaws lead<br />
the way following two good wins<br />
over Torfaen Tigers and the West<br />
Wales Raiders.<br />
Valley Cougars recovered from<br />
their defeat by the Chargers<br />
to beat the <strong>All</strong> <strong>Golds</strong> 36-28 in<br />
Gloucester before thumping the<br />
Raiders 62-18 last weekend and<br />
they are in second place after four<br />
weekends of matches.<br />
The Raiders have started slowly,<br />
losing their opening two matches<br />
and Torfaen are also yet to win<br />
having been battered 54-0<br />
at Nottingham and 68-10 by<br />
Coventry Bears in their last game.<br />
Both the Bears and the <strong>All</strong> <strong>Golds</strong><br />
have won one and lost one of<br />
their two matches to sit in midtable<br />
and both will be looking<br />
to put together a run of wins<br />
as the season goes on to be in<br />
contention for a play-off place.<br />
Round 5 takes place this weekend<br />
with Outlaws looking to bounce<br />
back from their defeat last week<br />
with a win over the <strong>All</strong> <strong>Golds</strong>.<br />
Coventry Bears host West Wales<br />
Raiders hoping to inflict more<br />
misery on their visitors with<br />
another big win while on Sunday<br />
the Valley Cougars and Torfaen<br />
Tigers lock horns at Treharris<br />
in what should be a fiercely<br />
contested derby.<br />
