Season 30 - Division 3 (out of 7)
Start of season thoughts:
This season is important for the Sharp Shooters, as with 2 successive promotions we have moved quickly up the league to division 3. As we move up the leagues the teams get better and my prediction for this season is that we remain in this division, but a bad run or good run early on, could dictate the 2nd half of the season. I know that the One Half Wonders, Jammy Dodgers & Churchills Doubtfires can all play, whilst I know nothing about the other teams in the division. I think that this will be a very close season for all teams, with everyone beating each other.

End of season thoughts:
At the start of the season I predicted that we would stay in this division and I am pleased with 3rd place. We were only 1 win away from a 3rd successive promotion and it bodes well for next season. The 2 teams I didn't know anything about both finished in the bottom 2, which was a fair position for both of them. Overall I am pleased with the season just gone.
