League update
June 10 2009 at 12:29 PM

There will now be 12 teams in our league, meaning we'll play 11 home and 11 away games. Haringey will be staying in the other half of the league as another team could not afford to move up. Romford Spitfires are no more, but Romford Fury is filling the gap, managed by Mark Bidder.

2009/10 league structure
May 28 2009 at 01:13 PM

I've received a few details about the way our league will be structured for the 2009/10 season. There will be 11 teams, including us, and every team will play a total of 20 games - 10 home, 10 away.

Haringey will join our league, alongside B teams from Chelmsford and Streatham. Bristol will not be in our league, but the Isle of Wight Raiders will be (they are coming down from the EPL).

The season will begin on 13 September but as yet we don't have details of when our first game will be. As soon as I know the dates I'll post them here.
