TIME TO MAKE A BREAK

Welcome to Round 7 of this 2015/16 PSL season… it’s tight at the top of Group A, and Duffield – the current National Champions – are ready to make a break for the play-offs. For the first time this season we are able to field a full strength side. Having won most of our ties 3/2 so far this season we are hoping for a full house tonight. Coolhurst are currently bottom of the Group on 40 points, but they too will be looking to get some vital points in the bag as the bottom of the table is as tight as is the top.
