This was always going to be an interesting match as the Refills ended up in our league this season after having to temporarily disband their team last season so effectively come down a league for them. Last year they would come up against the likes of the Reading 2a’s who are an unknown team [...]

Last Saturday saw the Men’s 3s travel to Altwood school to take on Maidenhead Mystics, their 2nd XI. After starting 20 minutes late due to Air Ambulance being called for an Astro burn to a knee the game kicked off. With Maidenhead getting the push back Reading did not see the ball for the first [...]
