Season 32 - Division 2 (out of 8)
Start of season thoughts:
This season I think we will finish in mid table, picking up enough points to avoid immediate relegation back to division 3. My initial favourites for the div 2 title are the Badgers, having been champions of the top division only a couple of seasons ago. I am looking forward to playing matches against Wallbags, Usual Suspects & One Half Wonders as these contests will determine the out come of the season. The unknown quantities to us are Usual Suspects & TAI having never played them before, but I am looking forward to the challenge. Overall this will be a very tight season and hopefully a successful one.

End of season thoughts:
This season I thought we may pick up enough points to stay up, but unfortunately didn't win a game. Some of the games we were just unlucky and others clearly outclassed. It was generally a case of moving up the leagues too quickly, although I wouldn't have said no if someone had offered me this. Overall I am pleased this season is over and hope that we can return to winning ways soon.
