2022 was an excellent season for the club with the senior teams winning more matches between them than any other season on record. With two weeks to go there were four sides chasing promotion. Sadly only the CHL 2s got over the line but it was a marked difference to previous years with all six teams winning over half of their matches. That was thanks to some impressive performances over the season which were celebrated last night in the clubhouse.

The night started with thanks to the eight Captains and background staff who make the seniors' ship run so smoothly:

WCL 1s - Alex Laud
WCL 2s - Chris Harrison
WCL 3s - Neil Thorne
CHL 1s - Paul Fitzgerald
