Mount Pleasant Friendly. 8 Chesfield Ladies took on Mount Pleasant for a match which will be the last time we play at Mount Pleasant before it becomes a housing estate. The 5 S’s of sports are: stamina, speed, strength and spirit. Chesfield have spirit in abundance.

 

 

Team Benton Hall took on the big guns on Thursday. We may not have won the day but we certainly were the best dressed team there. Even the men commented on our club colours. ” A trophy carries dust, memories last forever”
