Although we're five games into the season, the league is all over the place after the league committee ruled that the Rose could not fulfill their fixtures and barred them from taking any further part this season. As a result all games against them have been deleted and all teams now have two byes in each half of the season.
It's a fact that league pool in the Thames Valley is not what it was. Time was when the Thames Valley Pool League (as it was called) had twelve divisions of ten teams and still others wanted to join. With that in mind it's shame that the Rose couldn't get a team together each week to make a fist of it. Whilst it's a suitable punishment to extricate them from the league, I would strongly encourage them to try again next year.
On a more positive note Earls Angels have won their first game of the league campaign, with a superb result against the criminally overrated Likely Lads. I'd love to hear from any members of either team who can fill us in on the details. As always you can reach us at the usual address - rackspack@hotmail.co.uk. That result has put both Racks Pack and Thatched Cottage in a strong position, both teams having nine points, a far superior "Frames For", and two games in hand on their nearest challengers. With the Likely Lads playing Racks this week, anything than win and surely they will have to be renamed the Unlikely Lads - as in unlikely to win anything this season, lads.
