It’s fair to say we got off to an absolute flyer this season, winning our opening friendly match followed by wins in the first 3 games of the league. After such a successful start we were soon brought back down to earth, losing our next 3 games. The remainder of the season can only be described as ‘varied’, with some good wins but a disappointing run of 4 losses, including some tight games we found ourselves on the wrong side of.
Our aim for the season was to target a mid-table finish, we were amongst 3 teams in the middle of the division finishing on exactly the same points, just an extra bonus point would have left us finishing 5th, however due to a low net run rate we finished the season 7th, however this is an improvement on last season.
