Sprint kings help Broncos

Linford Christie and Darren Campbell have been enlisted by London Broncos in the countdown to the new season.

With barely a month to go to their first match, Broncos have called upon Christie, the former Olympic sprint champion, and Sydney silver medallist Darren Campbell to give them concentrated speed training.

Broncos have already spent three days at an Army camp, getting toughened up and on Monday week Campbell and Christie will put them through their paces on the Sutcliffe Park track in south London.

Broncos coach Tony Rea said: "Every player is always chasing an extra yard of speed and Darren and Linford can help them find that."
