There will now be 12 teams in our league, meaning we’ll play 11 home and 11 away games. Haringey will be staying in the other half of the league as another team could not afford to move up. Romford Spitfires are no more, but Romford Fury is filling the gap, managed by Mark Bidder.

2009/10 league structure
I’ve received a few details about the way our league will be structured for the 2009/10 season. There will be 11 teams, including us, and every team will play a total of 20 games – 10 home, 10 away.
Haringey will join our league, alongside B teams from Chelmsford and Streatham. Bristol will not be in our league, but the Isle of Wight Raiders will be (they are coming down from the EPL).
The season will begin on 13 September but as yet we don’t have details of when our first game will be. As soon as I know the dates I’ll post them here.
Farewell to Sergei
After three seasons with the Lions, coach Sergei Smolenko has left the club. We thank Sergei for his dedication and commitment and wish him well for the future.
Oops, Nick deserves a mention too!
It’s been pointed out to me that Andrew Boot was, in fact, not the only Lion to have played every single game this season. Nick Alley also played every game. Sorry I missed you off, Nick. I think I missed a game out of his stats from the time he was due to have a game ban that ended up being revoked.
FAQs page
As I get so many people asking the same sort of questions a lot, I’ve decided to put the most frequently-asked ones on a dedicated FAQs page. If anyone contacts me with a question that has already been adequately answered on the site, the only reply I’ll give will be a link to the FAQs page. All other queries will be answered in full, as usual.
