Team notes: Suffered from the continuing battling in the ultra strong Midlands and Central Conferences of the various UK football leagues. Never quite managed to break the Bulls/Panthers stranglehold on the area. Looked to be on the verge of a breakthrough in 1986, but were let down by American personnel. Always a well organised club with plenty of talent who never gave opponents an easy game. One of the best supported clubs in the country. Reached semi-finals in 1992 under the guidance of Grossner and Quirolo, who were replaced at the end of the season by Coach Steve Moon. Bought out by local businessman, Bink Marshall, in 1993 after previous owner David Shaw emigrated to Arizona. No longer able to afford the services of player import/coach Eric Hawkins, he returned to the States during the 1994 season. Import QB Ken Suhl explained, "Eric had to go for financial reasons."
