Genuine question.
Are the Hoists still predominantly ANZACS?

They do seem to dominate the comps they're in......

From the touch line when I saw them at Chiswick, the Hoists appeared to be of ANZAC stock

Yes but not exclusively, got to be a good thing to have a stronger quality team like that in the league. Will only raise the overall standard.

This is great....a tournament that a team from London is guarnteed to win

They where the Aussie Green and Gold so it is a bit of a giveaway.

They are a much more diverse club these days with some good local English lads - that being said they are still dominated by Australian's.

SW London Chargers has had 70 players play for us this season with about 30 of those being Aussie or Kiwi - we have a great mix of expat ANZACS, London Northerners, and some local London talent.

Hammersmith are always tough to beat but with both our teams in the finals and already winning the London Cup final fingers crossed it is our year.

The League this year had been very tight, Hemel A, Skolars A, Eastern Rhinos, Hammermsith, & SW London have all had good wins over each and there were 3 draws also.

The League finished:

Hammersmith 14pts
SW London 13pts
Skolars A 12pts
Eastern 11pts
Hemel A 8pts
Elmbridge 2pts

So we will see you there on Saturday?

Euclid can vouch that the standard of Rugby League is very high.

Hope you can make it again Euclid.

I will be there rain or shine. Watching these teams is a pleasure and I was impressed by the standard of rugby.
