The first competitive game for the Seniors takes place this coming Saturday as they take on Passage in Passage in the league at 3-30pm, best of luck to everyone involved as they start the 2020 campaign.

 

Last Man Standing

It was a big week on Last Man Standing with the results going against all predictions, rock bottom Norwich beating third place Leicester and lowly Watford finally breaking Liverpool’s unbeaten record mean a lot of players left us and only thirteen are left with two lives, next week’s games are crucial so pick your team wisely, please make sure to have your team into Owen by 5pm on Thursday. Check out the page on the website for all the updated results. Last Man Standing
