Logo Low Rez JpgHaving won three of their last four games Crusaders are now in the coveted eighth position that will qualify them for the playoffs, but they are in competition with Northumbria, Birmingham A’s, and Glyndwr Nets for three spots in the playoffs. Any of these teams can end up in sixth to ninth place, depending on how the remaining games play out, and Crusaders will still have to rely on other results, even if they win their remaining two games.

Apologies for the lack of updates recently - we have been desperately trying to sort things for the move to Medway Park.  Players/parents should have received a letter from me via their coach explaining where we’re at with everything.  Please email me if you haven’t received it.

Thanks a lot,

Jesse
