Even though we moved up to the Premiership as Champions from the season before, we had lost a few players to injury and the squad didn’t seem as strong. But opening day was quite positive as we scored 3 goals against one of the contenders for the league. Although we lost 5-3 we were confident we we could get enough points to stay in the league. But despite a 5-0 drubbing of what would turn out to be the bottom team, we lost 6 of the first seven games and were deep in the relegation zone.

But then came a rally of 7 points from the next three games, which as it turned out would be enough to secure our safety. Although we lost our last two, we had achieved our objective of avoiding relegation by just one point. A dramatic draw against old adversaries Rage Against Retirement, would be our saviour.

On the whole a good season, with all players chipping in goals in the absence of our regular strikers. Even Rich P was in contention at one point for top scorer! Plus he missed a penalty…

On a personal level, I got 2 MOM awards and feel like I’m in pretty good form at the moment. No thoughts of retirement just yet…
