As previously reported, the G team beat close rivals Merton E by 6-4 at the Arnewood School last week to take the Div 3 title with a week still left to go. The J team could only take a point off Nimrod C in Div 5, but it was enough to secure promotion to Div 4 as runners-up. In Div 4, the H team gave their promotion hopes a terrific boost with a 9-1 win over Ringwood C, and they need only to draw against fellow contenders Bmth Sports R to take the G’s place in Div 3.

Rising star Matthew Daish’s desire for Premier League action next season was encapsulated in his magnificent performance in Div 1 as his hat-trick helped his B team to a 5-5 draw against Bmth Sports F.  Not only did he beat ex-Premier player Lee Devaney, but he also gained personal satisfaction from beating fellow starlet Zac Dowling.
