To the victors, the spoils!
Our informal Presentation Evening was hailed as a success and those who were able to make it had a great time celebrating the achievements of team mates and other colleagues in the league. It was a tribute to our league and very much a format for future events.
As we turn our attention to the new season, here’s a full list of last year’s champions! Well done to all.
