We were promoted in our only season in this division (until this one, obvs). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulhanley Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Definitely and by some way. We spent most of our previous Division 4 season the top 7 or 8. I'd have said 13th was our lowest position. If Micky says 16th I'll go along with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same happened with my Dad. To be fair he did miss a fair few games early on but was soon on the Paddock like the proverbial bad penny.
