Finale

Crucial
Head Coach, Jefferson Williams, has made it clear to his team how the season has come to a crucial end. A win for UEL will mean they leapfrog Essex to take the Premier South Title.
Williams observed The Blades during the festive period and is aware that ‘team unity and fight’ will be crucial to retain UEL’s title, but believes the Blues are more than capable of winning the league.
