Today we play in the League for the first time ever.

We've got 3 matches. 10.15 against Brighton, 11.30 against Stoke Mandeville and 2pm against Southampton.

We are playing at Northcroft Leisure Centre in Newbury so at least it wasn't a long journey

We won our first and third matches and we are in second place of Division 3 at the moment. FUCKINGGGGGG HELLLLLL

Thanks for sharing.

Ok this is a rough idea of the Division 3 table

3 points for a win
1 point for a loss
0 points for a forfeit

1 Stoke Mandeville Maulers Won 3 Lost 0 GF 124 GA 42 9pts (+82)
2 The Dorset Destroyers Won 2 Lost 1 GF71 GA89 7pts (-18)
3 The Hammerheads Won 1 Lost 2 GF 64 GA88 5pts (-24)
4 Brighton Buccaneers Won 0 Lost 3 GF51 GA91 3pts (-40)

So we ended up in 2nd place at the end of our very first season, which considering at the beginning we didn't have a whole team available to play.

But today we had the rather extraordinary announcement that we are going to be playing Team GB Invictus Squad on Sunday July 2nd in Poole

Good work Nick.

You have let in a lot of goals this season but to finish 2nd on a -80 Goal Diffference ( ) is to be commended.

[Hammersmith1982]

Yeah it was a high ratio, but I'll take that any day :) :)

Next year we build and get stronger and better
