Roos confirm entry to BARFL Regional League for 2006 season (16th March 2006)
After looking through the squad available for the season, the Roos committee made the decision to apply to join the Regional League in 2006. Despite a promising first year in the London Premiership and the widespread desire to continue in that arena, the squad could not realistically support a competitive team at the 18-a-side higher standard. The Roos hope to use this year as a building block, introducing new players to the game and developing the squad so we can bounce back at the first opportunity.
