   I know we have one more game to go, but what a season for Blues to secure 2nd today. Like Knights a couple of close losses then we could have taken Ealing to the wire, but it is easy to forget a couple of close wins the other way.
Despite not quite clicking in the first half against Chinnor where it felt we were trying too hard and desperate to rack up the score, as the players had been eyeing up the game ever since the pre-Christmas loss. We managed to stretch clear in the 2nd half, despite Chinnor playing well.
Apparently we’re the only club to beat every club in the division after the win too. Although for Knights (looks like Nottingham beat you twice) to also do the double over Ealing is also impressive! Blues recorded just 2 losses at home all seasons, which were to Bath and Ealing, after leading both until late on and beat Bristol.

It will be hard next season to repeat this and it will be interesting who we recruit to replace some decent players that we are losing, but at least we have a good nucleus of a squad for continuity.
