The Mens Vets team was formed in 2012 for the inaugural Highfields tournament. With a very strong squad, the Boots team won the four team tournament. In 2013 the Vets returned to Highfields to defend their title. The league was expanded to 8 teams, and the Vets managed a third place finish.

   In 2012, I set up the Boots Mens 6th team to aid the development of the juniors.
   In 2012 I also set up the mens Vets team .
   In 2014 I became the Membership Secretary and the Mens Rep for two years.
   In 2014/15, I captained the Mens 5s to promotion to Central League East Mids Prem.
