Double figures at hard tracks like Sheffield helped us to get many away wins and to top the league table, only to lose it during playoffs. We had won the two cup competitions so losing the league was a bit upsetting as we were favourites to have a clean sweep. Great contribution from Dakota. Expand Edinburgh finished top of the table that year Sir. We were only 16 pts ahead of Newcastle though! That was the year when Sheffield dumped us out of the play-offs with one of the most embarrassing / remarkable 2-legged comebacks of all time. From memory, I think you guys won the PL play-off final but lost the promotion one to Ipswich? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Looking at the honours board on our club site it does say we won both cups and we were the League winners. I know we lost the playoffs, but though we had lost to Somerset on the first round of the playoffs. Just my memory. What year was it we lost at your place, beaten in the golden heat system. I was over the Atlantic at the times but I would have loved to be at your place despite the result to yourselves. As it would happen I also missed the Ipswich final due to being in the Caribbean. Mustn't have had much confidence both times booking cruises thinking we wouldn't make any final. Nice to hear from you again, it's been a long time, hope you are well.

Expand 2010 was one of those seasons when the team who finished top of the table was declared Champions (and rightly so). However, there were also promotion / relegation play-offs, which Newcastle won (as mentioned in my earlier post). I think 2009 was also run the same way (KL finished top = Champions but Monarchs won the play-offs before losing to Belle Vue).
