| League Season Review |
The LCBA winter league of teams of four 2025/26 is now completed. It has been a good season for both Blaby Teams.
Blaby A finished in 4th position in Division One and, assuming the league structure remains the same, they are guaranteed another season in Division One.
Blaby B narrowly missed out on first place in Division Three finishing second. It needed a big win by Loughborough B in the final match to deny them from first place.
You can see the final positions and scores in Division One here and Division Three here.
We look forward next season with optimism.
