Premier
Reigning champions Britannia Falcons are still the team to beat this year, being unbeaten after 6 games, including an impressive 7-3 victory over a strong Rosary team, and beating third placed Britannia Flamingos. Ryan Collins still undefeated this season. Team of the month must go to Phoenix Cobras, who recorded 5 straight wins as they went 4 points clear at the top, aided by a impressive individual performance by Richard Goodhand who was unbeaten during the month, having suffered just the one defeat in 18 so far this season. Despite their first defeat Britannia Flamingo’s continue to push the leaders, adding to their squad Alice Howard. After a poor start, Britannia Ravens, now bolstered by the signing of Lee Barnes, are now climbing the table. Replacing them at the bottom is Claydon B, who remain the only team without a Premier league victory so far.
Division One
The saints march on in the form of Capel St Peter and Capel St John, who are neck and neck at the top. However, the unbeaten Phoenix Pythons are fast closing in thanks to impressive individual contributions from Daren Earrey and John Stubbings.
