6-a-side League
Cobbetts again entered three teams in the 6-a-side league.
The ‘A’ team was renamed ‘Ales’. Richard Greeves took over as captain from Dave Stubbs who took on the 9-a-side team after many years in charge of the A team. With the loss of three top players, obviously there were some new faces in the squad and they did well to keep their place in Division 1.
The ‘B’ team was renamed ‘Bees’. This team also found itself with a number of changes as players moved around to balance up the numbers in each squad. Lots of good experience for the new players but sadly the team was relegated in bottom place with just two wins.
The ‘C” team was renamed ‘Cubs’ and was now under the captaincy of Graham Blake, who took over from Pete Tomlin. Lots of new faces in the team as well and they finished with 4 wins and 8 losses in 6th place.

9-a-side League
The 9-a-side League was back after an absence of 2 years with Dave Stubbs taking over from Rich Greeves as captain. In the the past we had entered two teams but, sadly, the committee did not feel there was enough interest to enter more than one team this season. This gave a number of our newer players the opportunity of some league experience but unfortunately a string of defeats left the team rooted to the bottom of the table. A win was finally achieved in the last match of the season.
