“These three teams did particularly well and were a great example of the strength and depth of the club.<\/p>\n
“Everyone competed enthusiastically throughout the season and produced some closely contested and enjoyable matches.<\/p>\n
“The promotions are a great reflection of the commitment of our players and team captains.”<\/p>\n
The men\u2019s A team finished runners-up in Division Two, securing promotion to Division One.<\/p>\n
Captained by Kevin Tassell, the team won five of its eight matches, drew two and lost just one.<\/p>\n
The team has now only lost one match in the past two years.<\/p>\n
New players this season included Harry Plumb, Will Reiley and James Tattershall, who joined the squad and made a strong contribution throughout.<\/p>\n
The mixed A team also secured promotion to Division One after an impressive campaign in Division Two.<\/p>\n
Captained by Emily John Davis, the squad combined experience and new talent to great effect, winning six of its eight matches, with just two defeats.<\/p>\n
Adding to the club\u2019s success, the women\u2019s C team finished top of Division Four to win the title outright.<\/p>\n
Captained by Maggie Knight, the team made good use of their new players, including Emily Rodriguez, Helen Beckingham and Lydia Stones.<\/p>\n
Overall, the team recorded four wins and one draw from their five matches.<\/p>\n
The club is looking forward to building on this success next season, when all three teams will take on the challenge of competing at a higher level.<\/p>\n
