Season Update 20th Mar 2009
Not much good news, we a adrift at the bottom of division 2, so unless we have a remarkable form change we will be playing in division 3 next season. We got to the semi final of the Roger Goldsmith Champagne Tournament but went down to a closer match than the eventual result suggested to Cambridge Porters who heavily outgraded us.
Season Update 16th Feb 2008
Both teams are neck and neck, but inconsistancies have left them trailing the mid table teams but a good victory each, should see them back in the main table. There have been some good one off performances both team and player wise - other teams in the league just don't know what to expect when they come up against us!
