NATIONAL CHAMPIONS!!!!!

CONGRATULATIONS to our Under 14 Girls on becoming English National Champions 2012 following two fantastic performances in the Final Fours in Sheffield on Saturday May 5th - for full details read the Current Match Reports Page!

 

SAINTS 1 & 2  -  ESSEX PLAY OFF CHAMPIONS!!

To crown a fabulous bank holiday weekend for the Club BOTH our Men's teams collected more silverware at the Essex Senior Play Off Finals on Monday May 7th.

Firstly, in probably the biggest surprise of the season (not to us but to the rest of Essex!), the Men's 2nd team WON the Division Two Play Off Final against Pipps Hill Bears. A truly fantastic achievement for a team consisting of players aged between 14 & 19 years old that came 6th in the Division Two regular season!! Full details on Current Match Reports page.

Secondly, but perhaps not quite so surprising, the Men's 1st team WON the Division One Play Off Final against Brightlingsea Sledgehammers. This well earned win against a tough & talented Hammers team means that Saints 1 have achieved the League & Play Off Double for the second season running, another tremendous achievement. Full details on Current Match Reports page.

SPECIAL MENTION for Swifts Head Coach, Steve Pearl, who has been both the architect and the driving force behind the Club's successes. These successes come as a result of the countless hours he spends in the gym coaching players as young as 7 to those as old as Damon and is testament to both his dedication and his skill.  Well done Steve!
