With round 7 being washed out or games cancelled due to COVID issues, round 8 saw the start of the 2022 leg of this season. With a week of mixed weather we once again faced some uncertainty around the weekend's gameplay, however, we, fortunately, saw most of our teams get a game.
To this week's players of the round - congratulations on a fine effort on the pitch and as a small token of celebrations, the players below will be shouted to "celebratory dinner" this week after Thursday's training by the club executive!
