Men's 4th Team Season Report
Posted by Jamie Cooper on 23 June 2020
The Men’s 4s gain PROMOTION!
The Men’s 4s were in 2nd place in the league at close of play (with 2 games remaining) and following the leagues calculations, keeping their well deserved 2nd place meaning that they have gained promotion for next season. The only team in the club to have done so.
The season compromised of 13 wins, 2 draws and 4 defeats. The team scored 69 goals whilst conceding 37. The team used a large number of different players with players moving up and progressing whilst others were used from the 5th team to help support the 4s when needed.
The season didn’t start too well for the 4s having lost 3 of the first 5 games. Following that spell the team picked up maximum points on all games bar 2 (1 draw and 1 loss), going on a hot 12 game unbeaten run. Another highlight of the season was being the only team to beat runaway league leaders Beeston down at the Ellis (they did not like this!). The highest scoring game was a massive 11-1 win vs Nottingham 5s with 5 different names on the scoring list.
The team has been made up most weeks of a good blend of experience and youth and both groups have benefitted from this. Youngsters Rahul Pai, Brandon Logan, Dan Horsey Elson and William Bickerton Jones have come on leaps and bounds across the season and will be looking to push the players in the teams above for their places come next season (whenever that is). The team had 2 goal scorers surpass double figures with one of those scoring more than 20 goals, with many more chipping in with goals across the season. 10 players in the group have played 13 or more games and that level of commitment has really made a difference to performances week in week out and we hope to see this commitment again next season.
Thank you to those that have been involved in running the team across the season.
Congratulations to the Men’s 4s!!
