Match Report – West Wickham
Sadly this fixture had to be cancelled, following a report of Covid at the Club. It is to be hoped that there have been no serious illnesses amongst the members. The BBA has one more fixture before the Indoor season starts (13 October) against RBS, so it will be good to go out with a […]

Again, we had a full complement of players for the game, but “gave” one to HSBC, as they were two players short. The President managed to […]
