Basingstoke Disappointment

The latest Div IV weekend resulted in losses in all three games.

By all acounts, we threw away the Saturday game against Cambridge City, the final score being 15-12 in their favour.

Sunday saw more woe. A close game against Bristol Uni saw defeat by two goals at 11-13 and then league leaders Swindon brushed us aside in the final game with a 20-10 victory.

Jaggers also picked up a year's ban on Saturday for majors incurred.

We've dropped to fifth place in the table, though we are unlikely to go lower. Manchester now lead us by one point and they have a game in hand.

The final weekend is the 29th/30th November back up at good old Walsall Gala Baths.

We've got two must win games against Manchester and the RAF to stand any chance of reclaiming fourth place in the final standings. There is a very slight chance that if both Manchester and Cambridge screw up big time we could grab third position but that's fairly unlikely.

Still in 4th Place

The 4th Division IV weekend saw us come away with our league position intact.

We had wins against Grantham and Newcastle and drew 10-10 in a thrilling encounter with Bedford.

The 5th weekend is on the 15th/16th at Basingstoke.

We have a five point advantage over 5th placed Manchester Hawks though they have a game in hand, as do Bristol Uni who are one point ahead in 3rd. Cambridge (in 2nd) are also one point ahead but have played the same number of games as us. We play both Bristol Uni and Cambridge at Basingstoke so it's going to be a tough weekend.

League leaders Swindon Dolphins have probably got the title in the bag with a six point gap over 2nd.

Another Successful Weekend

The third weekend of this year's Div IV campaign saw us take on the two teams we had yet to play so far.

Saturday saw a thrilling 22-20 last gasp win over newcomers Manchaester Hawks with goals from Dan and Ed in the last minute sealing the victory.

Sunday's game was against bottom of the table Royal Air Force and that resulted in a 15-11 win for us.

We've now got 4th place in the table with stats of played 8, won 5, lost 3. The three teams above us in the table (Swindon, Cambridge and Bristol Uni) are the three we've lost to and we play those again on the 5th weekend at Basingstoke in November.

The next (4th) weekend is at Marlborough on the 25th/26th October where we take on Grantham, Newcastle and Bedford.

Three Wins at Pond's Forge

The second weekend of this season's Division 4 campaign saw us take three wins out of three to move us up to a mid table position.

Saturday saw a 21-13 win over Newcastle and then we easily beat Bedford on Sunday morning 20-9. The final game of the weekend was against Grantham and they were finally beaten 15-13.

The next weekend is being held at Walsall on the 11th/12 October and we have just two games, the opponents being Manchester Hawks and the RAF. Manchester will probably be the tougher side to beat.

National League - update

Yesterday's game against Cambridge didn't go according to plan and we lost 17-9.

The first game for today was against newcomers Swindon - that was a closer affair but we threw the game away to lose 16-15.

Bristol Uni are this afternoon's opponents. Hopefully we'll get a result against them to at least leave Sheffield with some points on the table.

Training & National League

Training resumes this Sunday - see the times already published below.

The National League team starts this year's campaign up at Ponds Forge, Sheffield this weekend.

We are playing Cambridge on Saturday afternoon and then Swindon and the University of Bristol on Sunday. The Swindon team are new to Division 4 and include a several players from the now defunct Nerton Abbott and Reading teams so they'll be a force to be reckoned with.
