The Chargers’ premiership triumph was built on an exceptional season record. Across their ten competition matches, the side suffered just one loss and one draw while winning an impressive 8 matches. Week after week, the team demonstrated resilience, determination and a commitment to playing for one another, building momentum throughout the season and establishing themselves as one of the competition’s standout sides.
