Dynamos play down hopes of title

Invicta Dynamos coach Kevin Parrish thinks their chances of winning a seventh straight league title are slim.

The Medway side have won all five of their games so far this season but Parrish is tipping the Wightlink Raiders to take their crown.

"They've got the upper hand I think," Parrish told BBC Radio Kent.

"We'll be there, there's no doubt about it and whether we can win it again we'll have to wait and see. We'll definitely be pushing for it."

He added: "I'll take the pressure of us and say the Isle of Wight have to win the league this year as they have to show to their fans that it was the right move stepping down from the EPL.

"They've got a little bit of a budget there, they've captured some good players.

"They play on such a tiny rink on the Isle of Wight that they shouldn't lose a home game and they've got a good enough squad to win 90% of their road games."

Parrish thinks this weekend's game with the Bracknell Hornets will give him a better indication of how good his squad is this season.

"It's a tough couple of weekends coming up with Bracknell and the Isle of Wight back-to-back," he said.

"The league's going to come down to us, Bracknell, Isle of Wight, Cardiff and Chelmsford I think. Some of them have played each other already and taken points off each other.

"I can't wait to play Bracknell on Sunday to see what we have got and we can get a glimpse of what they're like and what we've got to compete for during the rest of the year."
