0-4 Panthers look to Cup for Inspiration

Despite losing 6-4 to Jamaica Inn "Dons" in the league last week, the Panthers' squad are hopeful of pulling off a minor giant-killing performance in the Ben Truman Cup tonight. The Panthers make the trip to Hollingbury "A", who are currently 6th in Division Two, looking to galvanise their season with a good cup run.

6-4 Scoreline Hurts Panthers Again

For the third week running the Panthers found themselves one point short of a valiant draw and first league points of the season. Former UoB Premier League competitor Rob Olley led the Seasiders to a narrow 6-4 victory over the Panthers in Week Three and thus condemning his former team to their third straight defeat. The mood in the camp is still buoyant despite the latest set-back, a healthy leg difference shows that despite being at the foot of the table, the Panthers are not too far off the rest of the teams in the league.

The Panthers face Jamaica Inn "Dons" tomorrow at home, with President Will Burley hoping to end their losing league record before the Ben Truman Cup starts the following week.

Panthers Defeated in Week Two

Despite welcoming a number of new faces to the team in the week, the Panthers only just managed to field a full side to face 'The Animals' in Week Two (a huge thank-you to Tom for coming into the team at such late notice). In a tight and fairly even match-up, the Panthers were desperately unlucky to fall the wrong side of a 6-4 scoreline for the second week running.
