Teams in 2026/27
We are pleased to welcome back the "Wristy Strokers" under the tutilage of Regan Finch, the King of Swannanoa but are really sad to lose the "All Stars" who have been around for an eternity and were winners only a few years back. All the teams have had a big pre-season and are looking to knock "Here for the beers" off their lofty perch after their win last year.
