| Teams Ladder 2025/26 |
For this competitive year a change was made to the Teams Ladder to permit squads of up to six players to take part rather than our previous format of squads of four. The aim was ideally to deepen the competition in the Ladder and to get more players involved more regularly. After two months it is pleasing therefore to see a five-way tie for top position in the Ladder with three of these five Teams, so far, benefiting from the more flexible squad rules. Early days but a very welcome development.
