| Midlands League |
Current and next season's MCL matches are in the calendar. We have one remaining match on 22nd April home against Oxfordshire, and there is still a Notts-Warw match to take place. Currently our teams are second in the Dawes, leading in the Porter, and third in the Markham. All three teams have decent chances of pulling into first place in the last match.
