We are now at the end of the BUSA season for both of our teams.  Here is a brief description of how the season went:

Women's Team

The team got off to a slow start to the season, mainly due to a distinct lack of players for the first term.  After losing the first three games, it took until November for the team to begin to gel, winning the last 3 games of the season to finish with 3 wins, 3 loses for the year.  This put the team in fourth place in the division, a respectable finish!

Men's Team

The men's team got off to a similar shaky start, with the last start at the University making it difficult to get a team together for the second week of term.  After missing a few key players for those games and then having to face Sheffield Hallam in the second game it wasn't a good start to the season.  During the next few games this all changed with a couple of good wins, but a few more losses, especially a loss to Newcastle 3-2 were costly.  The season finished on a high with 2 wins, the team finishing the league won 4, lost 4.  Due to a very close tie on point for 2nd to 4th place and good results against Manchester the team managed to finish 2nd overall and qualify for the knockout stages.
