We have an excellent team who are growing in strength everyday. We play from a pub which is local to all and we will bring the premier back to fun times. We all go in good sprit and have fun!!! I think the league should make the premier out of 16 teams and lets get a little variety back in the venues. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
