Those were the days…when rugby netball (now netrugby) had four leagues all competing. This 1985 clipping from the south london press shows the league positions. Nice to see there was a time when Taverners didn’t dominate the league. Also shows how little things have changed for my own team – the Battersea Ironsides. The reporter says “The Irons must learn to move the ball more quickly if they are ever to take their rightful place in Division 1.” Well we did get there in the end, but only by default, and we still don’t pass the ball quickly enough!
