SEASON 2010-2011     -     REAL BETIS
Players Daryl Brooks, Martin Cath, David Howes (Capt), Keith Selby, Jonathan Shoosmith, Yang-Jian Zhou
Position Championship - 1st out of 8
Comments With 3 wins in the opening 3 games, they retained their status as odds on favourites to win promotion, but a wobble in the next 2 rounds opened the door.  However, 2 victories in the final 2 rounds confirmed them as Champions and promotion back to the Premiership.
SEASON 2009-2010     -     REAL BETIS
Players Daryl Brooks, Martin Cath, David Howes (Capt), Frank Kane, Keith Selby, Jonathan Shoosmith
Position Premiership - 7th out of 8
Comments They had a 50% score after 3 rounds and a draw in round 5 kept them above danger, but defeat in the last 2 rounds saw them very cruelly slip back down the Championship on almost the narrowest margin possible.  Having finished completely level with Late Knight Sacrifice, the direct result between the 2 teams was drawn, but the board county went against Real Betis and they went down again as they did 2 seasons ago.  One feels they could be favourites to bounce straight back up again. 
SEASON 2008-2009     -     REAL BETIS
Players David Barron, Daryl Brooks, Chris Constable, David Howes (Capt), Keith Selby, Jonathan Shoosmith
Position Championship - 1st out of 8
Comments The perfect tonic for last season was immediate promotion and the Championship title - and that is what was achieved.  They were there or there abouts most of the way despite only drawing in rounds 3 and 4.  A finish of 3 straight wins took them back to the top and to the title. 
SEASON 2007-2008     -     REAL BETIS
Players David Barron, Daryl Brooks, Chris Constable, David Howes (Capt), Alan Prizant, Keith Selby
Position Premiership - 8th out of 8
Comments They had a squad that could have won it, but it was just one of those things.  Players unavailable at the wrong moments and others not quite finding their form on key boards left Real Betis struggling all season, although one feels that with even half of this squad, they should be good another to return to the top level at the end of next season.
SEASON 2006-2007     -     REAL BETIS
Players David Barron, Ian Buckley, Chris Constable, David Howes (Capt), Keith Selby
Position 3rd out of 12
Comments Real Betis had a storming start to the season with 4 straight wins, but the middle rounds cost them the title.  They managed to win the last 2 rounds but finished behind Four Board Forkers on goal difference, but this was their first prize zone finish.
SEASON 2005-2006     -     REAL BETIS
Players David Barron, Ian Buckley, David Howes, Keith Selby
Position 7th out of 20
Comments David Howes went for just 4 good players in the hope that they would bring stability and the title.  But yet again, it was results in the 2nd half of the season that cost the team a prize zone finish.
SEASON 2004-2005     -     REAL BETIS
Players David Barron, Ian Buckley, Jessie Gilbert, David Howes, Anita Tse
Position 11th out of 20
Comments It was a repeat of last season.  3 straight wins at the start had them perfectly places but then results started to turn, eventually leaving them in mid-table.
SEASON 2003-2004     -     REAL BETIS
Players David Barron, Ian Buckley, Marie Harman, David Howes, Anita Tse, Aidan Rawlinson, Simon Warman
Position 9th out of 20
Comments David Howes's new team had a good start to their first season in Super League, but results in the 2nd half season cost them a place in the prize zone.  They were not helped by a few bottom board defaults.
