Matches played Saturday 8th Bexley Park &
Sunday 9th Horton Kirby September 2019
Hi All
What a good weekend it was!!!
A win at home against Bexley Park giving us 9 points was followed by a superb win away at Horton Kirby, 8 points. At the moment we are sitting in 6th place in the league and a win away at Halls in 2 weeks could see us reach the dizzy heights of 4th place, (here's hoping).
So a massive well done to all who took part, (including super sub Carmen who turned up to cheer us on), and thank you to the ladies for their support in these games.
I attach a photo below of the back drop to the Horton Kirby game which is one of my favourites of the grounds we visit.
More news tomorrow!
Thank You
Roy
