10s extra: Fairplay trophy winners!
A special mention for the surprise announcement at the end of the tournament today that we had won the Fairplay Trophy!
Such awards are often disregarded, but that is unfair. Reputations - good and bad - last long after results have been forgotten. Look at our differing experiences when playing teams in Hertfordshire (where the male side of the club have gone before) and playing teams from outside the county (where Letchworth is unknown, and we are making our own reputation). In fact I often wonder quite what the men and boys of Letchworth must have got up to over the years!
Today's award was just the latest - and perhaps shiniest - example of a long line of excellent reports and feedback from clubs you have played over the last season or two. I am hugely proud of the enormously positive way in which you are all seen by just about every team you have played - we may not win every game, but we always seem to win friends.
