Team:<\/strong> Horsehay<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2025 Captain: <\/strong>Andy Garbett<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2025 Aim: <\/strong>Not to be bottom come the end of the season. Try to win a few more home games and hope to improve on last year\u2019s results away from home. Find a way to keep ticking the points tally over .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2025 Position: <\/strong>14th<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2025 Points: <\/strong>113<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Audlem Special Events Alan Mayhew Trophy:<\/strong> 1st round (lost to Castlefields by 56)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pool B: <\/strong>Semi Finals (lost to Adderley by 36)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leading Player: <\/strong>John Roberts Jnr – 13 wins<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Comments:\u00a0<\/strong>Horsehay were bottom of the league since week 3 and never looked like moving off there. They lost their first 7 games, only scoring more than 3 once, getting their first win at home 11-3 against Wem USC. But only win followed in the next 7, but they did earn their first away win 9-7 at Adderley, and then beat Hanwood 9-5 at home. They did win 2 more home games, and avoided a whitewash, after having 4 last season, until the last game at Champions Castlefields, finishing one point better off than last season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They couldn’t pull off a great escape this time though, losing to Woore by 7 at Monkmoor in a thrilling game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
