Comments: Meole Brace finished a point and place worse off than in 2024 as they had another solid season. Their home form was either good or bad, they won 7 of their 8 games with double figure points hauls, losing 5 games at home to the top four and Wem USC. Their away form saw them win twice at Horsehay and Bylet, with 7 more games heralding 4 or more points, and then two of the other 4 being whitewashes. They lost first game in both the cup competitions.
2026 Aims: To keep the players they have and add a few more to increase competition in the squad, they were only 10 points off the top half so that will be their aim next season to get back there.
