 Whilst promotion was the goal, a 7–3 Season was a huge motivator and a sign that they are on their way back to fighting form.With a Junior side that went 3–3 and were Southern Trophy Runners up in an 8–6 Game against the Solent Seahawks and Youth Program who looked strong to start the season, the Senior side has much to look forward to in 2018 and beyond.Due to personal circumstances Roger Brown had to leave the club, and Craig Barnes was voted in as the new Head Coach.
