The juniors went into the last match of the EYAL 2024 with baited breath. After the June match we
were 13th on equal league points with St Albans, but, 170 match points behind. We needed to finish 3rd
on the day to ensure a 12th place finish and qualification for the Plate Final. The other 3 matches of
July were held on the 21st . Our match was held on the 28th due to Basildon, Havering and us
competing in the YDL on the 21st . We had a fantastic turn out and came away 2nd behind Havering
meaning we qualified for the Plate Final for the first time in 5 years!
