A 5-5 draw to Chester Cheetahs 2, was followed by a 1-6 loss to Thames Valley Vikings (Runners up) and a 2-6 loss to Nottingham Outlaws (Plate winners) and we finished last place in the group D. 
 

Bedford Eagles (Bowl winners) gave us no chance in the Bowl Quarter Final. It was a clear 1-7. 
 

In the Shield Semi Final, we met Liverpool Otters. We started well but could not score and lost 0-3.
 

In the 15th/16th playoff we played Ignite. Before the game it was already clear for both teams that they would continue in Div 4 in the next round. At halftime, we were 2-1 down. At the final whistle, both we and the referees had a 4-4 on the scorecards. However, there were brief protests from Ignite who felt they had won 5-4.
 

As the referees had a 4-4 on the scorecard, the drop-off was played out. There, neither we nor Ignite could score with their respective first attacks. Our second attack then ended with a try. Ignite started the game again and had a dangerous action but could not equalise before the whistle blew after 2 minutes.
 

At that point, we won the game 5-4 after drop-off. However, the score at the end of regular playing time was discussed again. Since it didn't make any difference whether we finished last or second last (as I said, both teams were relegated to Div 4), we didn't discuss it any further and let Ignite take the win.
 

Even though we finished last, it was a successful day where we were able to develop as a team. Our experienced players actively supported our inexperienced players. 
 

Many thanks to our guest players who joined our team this Sunday. We are looking forward to all of you to re-join us again.
