Unconfirmed, but I'm hearing that Stamford drew with Hitchin today, so Blues women should be 5 points clear at the top of Women's NC 1 East, going into the new year.

Blues Women's final game of the season, at home to Ipswich has been brought forward by 24 hours, to Saturday 25th April (KO 2pm).

The men are without a fixture that weekend, so I'm hoping for a bumper crowd!
