Away-day joy for Hadley USC at Sutton
Skipper Jamie King admits Hadley USC’s victory at Sutton Park was a pleasant surprise.
King’s men were 8-4 (144-131) winners in the Summit League Feeder B clash on Monday night. Sam Millward was MVP for his 21-8 success against Stephen Danks.
“Last year we only had one winner there so to come away with a victory was really good,” said King.
“I wasn’t really expecting to get a win but it was a good all-round team performance.”
King believes Hadley have a chance of competing for promotion this season.
“We made some good signings and we are up there in with a chance,” he added.
“There is more strength in depth and I have got a couple of people sat on the sidelines who can’t get a game who are very good players.”
