Division One

Springhouse take an early lead in the top division with a big win against Woodlands But they were at home and winning the league last season this was expected.. Falcon Blue also start off with a win against Warren Heath almost as big but have to settle for 2nd place... Willows Park losing members and losing their first home game of the season to Hadleigh Blue who are now getting a foothold in division one! A closer game with Island vs Ramsden Ravens Island counting themselves lucky to get points at home only winning one game by 1 point and then dropping the second by 10! well done Ravens! So not too much upset in the first week but plenty more games to come!

Division Two

OCBC pull forward the Game vs Sanguine so both teams have played twice in week one

OCBC are top of the table with 7 points with honours even at home to Sanguine as they take valuable away points! They also get a hefty win vs Whitehall winning one of their games 22-04, welcome to division two Whitehall! In Sanguine's 2nd game this week they had a rivals match against Ramsden Robins (they play in the same hall) winning their home game 3-2. 2nd place in the division is East Hanningfield with Big wins against Wickford A getting a 42+ shot difference... Wickford will be glad to get that one out the way early.  Lastly both SBC teams East and North must play each other in the first game of the season and they provided great entertainment for an early game, SBC North who were promoted last season to division two take 3 points against their high placed club team last season. Is there a change in the winds!

Division Three

Heron Park just missing out of promotion last season have started with a bang! winning their home game vs Courage and topping the league, but it will be a different story when going away! Whitehall Wasps also have a good home win to start the season against newly promoted Falcon Whites, another team struggling with the promotion... Hadleigh Gold also start a home win against South Woodham Ferrers but it was a lot closer... winning one game on the last end 11-10. Whilst newly promoted Canvey Blue get the better of Hannakins Oak in their own backyard... Taking 3 points away is never easy well done.

Division Four

Whitehall Stingers and Whitehall Bees both promoted from division five last season get the same results from last year.. Bees taking 2 points to Stingers 3, at least their consistent... Top of the division though is CIFC Swans taking a nice win against Basildon although Basildon did only turn up with 7 players (thank you for still completing the fixtures!) Next is SBC West  taking 5 points and our narrowest win of the season so far and maybe of the season! 20-25 across both mats away to GPM Eagles! PML find themselves in 5th spot without even playing a game! 

Division Five

Wickford B take the biggest win in division five with a 25+ shot difference against new team to the league SBC South, whilst Galleywood take a less convincing home win against new team to the league Castle Point. but 5 points is 5 points at the end of the day.. CIFC Mallards wrap up the last game across the divisions with an away win against Hadleigh Silver wining one game 13-12. will that be valuable at the end of the season... the last new team to the league Ramsden Wrens have to wait for their first game of the season but at least they start from mid table in 4th...
