The Warriors beat the Chargers 17:10 in their regular-season meeting on Saturday, September 26. Both sides arrived having lost their last four games, and the hosts closed the game out in the end to finally break the run. It was a tight affair from start to finish, with neither side able to pull clear for long.
The Warriors showed some fight after picking up two bookings in five minutes of the opening quarter. Their defence held firm when it mattered, and they managed to keep the Chargers at bay in the final minutes. The scoreline reflected a game decided by fine margins.
The Chargers had nothing to do all evening in attack, failing to create many clear chances against a disciplined Warriors back line. They were out-thought on the touchline, and the visitors left with another loss to add to their growing tally. Four defeats in a row is starting to look like more than just bad luck.
For the Warriors, this result ends a difficult patch and brings them back into contention for something. They can spring a surprise if they build on this performance. The opponents they face next will need to take notice — a team that has lost four straight can still win one.
