Tough game this week, up against inform team Purley, and with the leaders seeking revenge on our 1-0 win earlier in the season. Interestingly, and unusual for us we had some welcome supporters in the guise of Mrs Heath + family, and Mrs Catton + family (who if you watched the game – we lost; but if you were distracted by …
Mens 4’s Smash Trinity 3’s : 9-0
Very cold game today, and most earlier games were either called off or played on a friendly basis.

Indeed with Mark Pilling controlling the defence, and welcome new addition of Harry (albeit “half game Harry” as he will now be known) and return of our prodigy Jamie Perkins, we …
