News
Results - Saturday 30th Jan
Another strong set of results last Saturday with the 2s leading from the front again with a 2-1 victory against grammarians, a result which puts them into 2nd place in the league. The 4s also continued their great run of results with a 3-1 away win to lift them within touching distance of the top. The 1sts and 4ths both lost tough games to leave them mid table.
Season update
At almost the half way stage of the season all teams are well set to make a push for some silverware. The 1st team are 6th with games in hand that could lift them up to 3rd and the 2nds are locked in what looks like a three way fight for top place in their league and have a third round cup tie to look forward to in January. Both the 3s and 5s are challenging in the top half of their divisions and the 4s are one of the form teams after a difficult start. See the links on the team pages for the latest league tables.
The top scorer competition is really hotting up with Billy Farmer currently leading the way, closely followed by Aaron Robinson and Phil Hartley.
