Crusaders Take The Points When Wasps Don’t Show

Coventry and Warwickshire Crusaders Wheelchair team took 2 league points on Saturday with out passing a ball or taking a shot, when their opponents, bottom of the table Wasps had difficulty in putting together a team. 

They decided not to make the three hour journey to Coventry to face an all most inevitable defeat viable. 

Crusaders coach Paul Claridge said on Saturday that this was not the best way to take the points but he was sympathetic towards Wasps decision not to travel. 

Instead he rounded up his troops for what turned out to be a very hard and very productive training session ahead of their next game this coming Saturday another home fixture for Crusaders against Hemel Aces.           

“We can afford to train hard today, as we were expecting to play a game and have a week to recover.” 

And train hard they did, looking highly impressive and extremely competitive. 

Crusaders have still had just one defeat this season, when they lost by a single point to Stratford Players in December.

They are therefore looking to take revenge next month when Stratford visit Coventry. 

Tip off for Saturday’s wheelchair game at City College Tile Hill is 11:30
