Perfect weekend for Cheshire as they become the first team to punch their Trophy semi-final ticket. Bristol also won their opener, whilst Sheffield claimed a league success. @shieldsbrief.bsky.social and I look back at the action and the latest from the BBF saga

So we've implemented a new feature this week, an homage to the old call lines, where you have to listen to it in order and can't just skip to the game at the end. Just dial 0898 SNB....
