Portcullis Fights for Survival

Portcullis's early successes in the grade and the cup look unlikely to continue with the stunning news that Chetan, Rahul and Sony - our top three players so far this season - have all simultaneously decided to leave the club and join Gordonians.

This means that not only will we find it hard to continue to win games but actually means that, for the first time in 6 years,  we are unlikely to be able to field a full team for the remainder of the season. In fact, unless we find some more players we face the very real prospect of having to scratch games later this year.

It is tremendously disappointing to be let down in this way, and especially so after having made such a good start to the season. We have now lost 6 players to other clubs this year, and our initial objective of getting promotion to grade 3 has been replaced with a battle for the very survival of the club.
