A wonderful day out yesterday, and the culmination of many years hard work by the directors, shareholders and supporters of Bramley Buffaloes, National League 3 Champions 2006.Bramley Buffaloes web site here
A very hard first half in which Hemel Hempstead had looked to be a very strong side determined to lift the title, saw them take the lead at half time by 8 points to 6, but the second half onslaught from the Buffaloes was simply overwhelming, after five minutes of the restart it was noticable that the Hemel forwards were weakening and meakly accepting the tackles when going forward and the final scoreline of 30-8 reflects the total dominance that Bramley had int he last 40 minutes.
So the job is done, the target is achieved.
When the team joined the NL3 three seasons ago the directors had a five year business plan to be the best in NL3, on and off the field.
Having been victim to the sponsorship department for the past three years I can categorically state that that part of the business works exceptionally well, and the achievments on the field speak for themselves.
Ultimately the progression of the club lies outside our hands, the Rugby Football League have yet to announce what the line-up for the NL3 will be next year (or more disturbingly whether there will be an NL3) and Leeds City Council need to do a little more than simply talk of a new West Leeds Stadium that can take the club up the huge step to NL2.
For now we bask in the glory and look forward to next season and the opportunity to defend our title and maintain our position as the flagship club of the NL3, and the way forward for other such clubs, both on and off the field.
You'll Buffalove it !!!
