SEASON 2008

Well an excellent start to the new season with three 5pt wins. The opporsition have been of mixed ability but I do believe that on this form and with the confidence that has been snowballing I think we could be a match for anyone in this league. A swift return to Div III could be ours for the taking.

The new skipper is a breath of fresh air with a different slant on things. Last year was a step backwards with Jonesy as captain, a return to the old form.... don't get me wrong Jonsey is an excellent club man and a top chap to boot but he lacks a nasty killer streak, if you ask me, that is needed at time. It might mean I, and everyone else will have to prove our worth rather than just be given our turn. As for Mr Ainscoe there is something about him..... a little devious or calculated master plan in his mind.

Excellent so far...........
