Much has been written about the W8s nee W7s, but what do we really know about them? Conspiracy theories abound, but here, exclusively, we can disclose details about the "W8 Effect" until now unknown in the public sphere.

For example, did you know that the W8s' opposition this week was so traumatised by having to face them on the pitch that they've now dropped out of the league? That's some badass rep.

It can also be revealed that the W8s are working undercover* for the HACCHIB (Hockey and Cricket Club House Inspection Board). Letchworth - already a favourite due to its two dancefloors and glam rooftop beer garden INCL. GAZEBO - took it up a notch this week by offering us "special" biscuits on what may well be our final outing to SG6. So we win on and off the pitch.

Members of the team, sometimes referred to as the best team in the club**, do not generally like to be singled out, as we are one unit and have one dream. But on-loan Ellie deserves a big shout out this week, as she played a blinder, and Captain Fantastic Sarah also, for her sterling effort in picking a team this week, which, due to mass unavailability, was like trying to herd cats. At the other end of the scale, mentioning no names, one new member of the team played fast and loose with kickoff times, and also tried very hard in the first half to redefine what a stick tackle is***.

Later in the evening, proud mum Lou was all smiles at the Games Night when her after-thought son Lucas inhaled a pint in 0.2 seconds, following in her illustrious footsteps and becoming the favourite Parkes offspring.

Next week is Harpenden at home at 16.00. Don't forget your gum shield, Sarah.

*Not undercover anymore.

** I heard some people say that once.

*** Welcome to the team, Mary.
