Uffington - Home - Drawy

A slightly drizzly start to the match with Uffington soon cleared up into a

play a timed […]

The Quokkas - Home - Victory

The Quokkas game is back around, this season we got lucky with the weather and even though it was extremely blustery we got a game in. Remembering last season where we only got the game up in London, no home tie due to the rain.
With the “series” tied at 1-1 there was some huge pressure […]

Crowmarsh - Home - Victory

Here we are again, against the old foe Crowmarsh. Luckily (soon to become unluckily) this is not the highly competitive, life changing, win at all costs Derek Shorter Memorial match. It is only the highly competitive, life changing, win at all costs friendly between us and them.
I want to make sure Crowmarsh feel satisfied by […]

Hendred Away - Win
