Second team (Division 3) 2004–05 season
Summary | Players | Fixtures | League table | Match details | Results
Summary
After the team’s strong performance in the second half of 2003–04 it always looked likely that this season would lead to promotion. The team proved far too strong for Division 3, winning 11 matches out of 12 and taking the title by a huge margin. Life in Division 2 will be harder, but the team should be strong enough to remain there.
Division 3 Champions
At 10:05 p.m. on Monday 7 March, the second team clinched promotion to Division 2 when the captain’s opponent’s flag fell in a lost position, giving the team a comfortable win over Bunkers 2.
In fact, the result more than settled promotion – it also guaranteed us the Division 3 Championship. Unknown to us, Fiveways 2, who needed to win all of their six remaining matches to have a chance of finishing ahead of us, had lost to Bunkers 2 and drawn with West Bridgford 2.
