The side took first spot in the fair play league for the WDCU Premier Division. Teams are awarded points per match by their opposition ranging from a maximum of 5 down to the minimum of 1. So a well done to Captain Chris and his team. The 2s were a commendable middle of the table, in 5th spot, in the Reserve League.
