CRADLEY HEATHENS 43 EASTBOURNE EAGLES 46

Skipper Tom Perry cut a disconsolate figure as Cradley finished their National League programme with a three-point defeat at home to Eastbourne. Perry, back from injury, was nearly the hero as he hit the front in the opening lap of the last-heat decider with Cradley needing a share of the spoils to take a surprise victory.  Guest Ben Hopwood eased through into third and things looked good for Will Pottinger's men only for Perry to fall on the fourth turn. Hopwood could make no impression in the rerun as Eagles maximum man Jake Knight and Josh Bailey sealed the win and their place at the top of the National League standings.  [Details]

ISLE OF WIGHT WARRIORS 61 CRADLEY HEATHENS 29

CRADLEY boss Will Pottinger was left frustrated after another heavy away defeat at the Isle of Wight.
The Motor Market Heathens were beaten 61-29 on a tough night at Smallbrook as their patched-up side were second best from start to finish.
Guesting duo Josh Bailey and Rob Shuttleworth fought admirably, as did middle order man Joe Lawlor.  But they recorded just one race win as the Warriors stormed to a convincing win on a difficult evening for the Heathens.

CLUB HISTORY 2016  REVIEW 

With due respect to the promotion at Perry Barr a lot of fans were  glad to be back at Monmore. It has become our second home now while the promoters still try to find that suitable piece of land in the Cradley Heath area.

Now fully sponsored by local car dealers Motor Market and the same management company of Nigel Pearson, Chris Van Straaten and Gary Patchett with Will Pottinger managing the team things were looking good.
