Invicta Dynamos return from a two-week break for the penultimate weekend of the regular league season.

An away game at the Romford Buccaneers on Saturday is followed by a home encounter against Chelmsford Chieftains on Sunday as the Mos look to finish strongly.

They start the weekend sitting fourth in NIHL South Division 1 with three games to play, on 29 points. Beating that total will mean progress for the Mos.

Head coach Karl Lennon said: “Twenty-nine points is the amount we received last year in the full season, we still have three games left to play in the league. We now want to stretch our targets to improve upon what we did last year and measure ourselves against ourselves.

“We have got 29 and we need to improve on that and we have a few games to do that. That is the ambition for the close of the season and place ourselves as well as we can, ready for the play-offs.

“You can’t measure yourself against other clubs because if you try and do that, one club might have a bigger budget that year and go out and recruit really well, some are a year on in their development of younger players and they come out and perform much better than expected. The only way you can measure yourself is against yourself.

“We have to measure ourselves on what we did last year. We haven’t done as well in the cup competitions as we would have wished, but we did very well last year. This year the league was the ambition and where we place will be down to how many points we get and we just have to get them on the board.”

The Mos can’t finish any higher than fourth, which is where they finished last season. Solent Devils, with a game in hand, could take over.

Invicta play at MK Thunder next weekend (March 17) before a weekend Southern Cup double-header.

Streatham have already topped the group with the Mos currently second ahead of a Chelmsford side who they face on March 24.

Lennon said: “I had strong ambitions for this team this season and have we met those expectations? Probably not.

“But I am also a firm believer in the process and sometimes things happen for a reason.

“Chelmsford (in third) recruited really well in the summer and are a much better team than they were last year and Streatham (the league champions) are solid and dependable as ever.

“Slough (league runners-up) have been a bit of a breakout team, an exception, they have these young, phenomenally talented players. Solent (in fifth) were well-placed last year and have dropped from where they were but are still a challenge on any given day. Streatham have won the league and the mark of a champion is that they have got the job done despite other teams picking up.

“This weekend will be massive for us in determining where we end up.

“We lost to Romford last time in the league on an overtime loss at home and then we lost to Chelmsford (last time they met) in the Southern Cup, which was recent and very poor, and so we have a big weekend ahead.”

The Mos last played on February 18, a 4-1 win over bottom side MK Thunder coming a day after a 4-2 loss at Solent Devils.
