Yo
The Portland Arms A have walked away with the division. Congrats to them. If results are confirmed it looks like we have managed to sneak 2nd spot. This seemed very unlikely at the halfway point. Caldecote had won five, drawn one and lost one at halfway. Since then they have only won one match, with a couple of draws and three defeats. Also at Xmas we had not won in four matches. Caldecote seemed nailed on for second. Not sure what happened. Two of our players booked up to go to Spurs last night they were so convinced we were out of it. The two new players did well for us. Anyway, onwards to the first division after a bitty season. Probably need one more decent player if we want to do well next season. Lots of trips to CSC await us I believe. Not sure of the other fixtures.

We had a great first half of the season, and slipped up second half, but that's no disgrace, this is the highest standard of pool out team has played and we are improving every season, we haven't got a team full of players with prem experience, in all honestly you should have been challenging for the title not scraping second. Then again there was only 'two teams worth talking about' in this league this season, according to some, so I think we have done pretty well.

Apologies, if you think i was having a go at your team. I said half way through the season that you looked solid. Yes, you are right, on paper we probably should have been closer to the Portland. No disrespect to them. As i said in a previous post we are probably a player short. We have not had a good season and are just happy to get out of it with a promotion. Obviously next season will be even harder. Let's hope we play better.

Yo Lots of trips to CSC await us I believe. Not sure of the other fixtures. Only 2 visits for us in div 1, depending on Oz / Barhill's results in their final match of the season. The prem on the other hand will be 50% CS&PC which gives a bit of an unfair advantage to the teams that get 72.22% of their games at their home venue IMO - which is probably worth about as much as a Greek Euro

monkey doesnt need me to say this but he is a straight up sound bloke and he definitely wasn't having a go i think some misunderstanding must have occurred

I didn't think you was having a go... Just sounded a bit like a dig in our direction, we threw it away and we know it, all the best in div 1, hopefully see you there in the next winter league.

Yo
Yes, I was saying that I am not quite sure how we finished second. That wasn't a dig at your team. If anything it was a compliment because we couldn't believe it happened.
