The 2018 Hammers team.

In our final season at The Raceway, which included fixtures at Rye House, our 2018 Hammers team under the Management of Will Pottinger, reached both the Play-Off Final and the Championship Shield Final. The Hammers were defeated on both occasions by The Workington Comets, who won the treble in 2018, but have also sadly put their license on ice in 2019.

Our 2018 Hammers team are shown below.
