Up the Bastard 2s!!!

So after being pasted 76-0 at home by London Kiwis, Old Streetonians pulled out of the game on Thursday morning handing us the league. Yes, you heard that right, the Bastard 2s have won the league!! The early cancellation of the game did however provide us with time to arrange a celebratory lunch for us […]

Hammers leave it to the last second!

I, Ben Hatton, start this match report thinking its going to be quite Canadian in its content, as it will be based around two apologies. Let’s kick things off though with the first; I am rubbish at remembering events. Piled onto this the fact is that I didn’t know I was going to be doing […]

Hammers emerge victorious in local derby!

Saturday afternoon was off to a confusing start in Hammersmith.
