Seasons

2016 saw an extremely tight league at the top and title was won by the SIR JOHN BAYLEY CLUB, who won the league for the first time. They finished just 5 points ahead of runners up Castlefields. The top four had a gap of only 9 points which really emphasizes how …

The below reports are now written by League Secretary Martin Gaut. The 2015 season was a highlight with champions, NEWPORT, setting a new record of 5 Consecutive Championships. This shows their well-deserved dominance of the last few years by finishing 18 points above Meole Brace and Ifton in second and third …

Newport were to prove the team to beat again in 2014 and won the league for the fourth consecutive season. Meole Brace overcome a tardy start where they lost their first three matches to finish runners up some 33 points behind. In third place were Sir John Bayley, narrowly ahead of …

The year 2007 saw the return of Bylet and with their home victory over Ifton in the last match of the season they survived the dreaded relegation play off in 13th position. Interest in joining our league continues to be high with both Tanners league winners Pontesbury and Market Drayton winners …

  The year 2006 saw the “White Horse” enter and leave the league in the same season.  Having beaten Bridgwater in the 2005 playoffs, they took the place of original founder members Craven Arms who had resigned during the previous season. Interest in joining our league continues to be high …
