LITTLEMORE head coach Carl Wright says they are ready for promotion to the BB&O Premier Division if organisers admit them.

Wright’s side are the highest ranked first team in BB&O Division 1 South, which makes them prime candidates to go up.

And having defeated Premier Division Phoenix 34-17 in a friendly, Wright believes Littlemore can hold their own in the higher league.

“We stand in good stead to not only survive our first season back in the BB&O Premier, but to prosper and push for a strong position,” said Wright.

“We’ve gained a number of key players as the season has progressed.

“Although we lost a few silly games, which have cost us first place in the league, we believe we proved against Phoenix that we’ve come a long, long way since the start of the season and hope to continue this form into next season and beyond.”
