SEASON 2009-2010     -     CASTLES KNIGHTS
Players Abimanya Baranathan, Rajanayagam Baranathanm Martin Bibby (Capt), Theo Bibby, Joshua Caulcott-Cooper, Freddy Gibson, Thomas Ward.
Position Championship - 6th out of 8
Comments Despite not winning any matches, they managed to finish outside the bottom 2 thanks to others having points deducted.  However, the team was being run more for pleasure and practice so the results were not as important as for other teams.
SEASON 2008-2009     -     CASTLES KNIGHTS
Players Martin Bibby (Capt), Theo Bibby, Joseph Carey, Emily Galvin, Freddy Gibson, Philip Knott, Thomas Ward.
Position Championship - 7th out of 8
Comments This season, they opted for a wide rotation of players with their entire squad being "not appearance protected" and this played a big part in them not challenging at the top of the table.  They managed a couple of draws but were never beaten by a large margin which must bode well for next season.
SEASON 2007-2008     -     CASTLES KNIGHTS
Players Theo Bibby, Emily Galvin, Nathan Heal, Philip Knott, Katherine Shephard, Jason Ying.  (Manager - Graham Knott)
Position Championship - 4th out of 8
Comments They were in the running for promotion all season with a squad full of dangerous young players.  They even went into the last game sitting in the promotion zone but couldn't find the result on the final day in what was an extremely close and exciting division.
SEASON 2006-2007     -     Under 100: CASTLES KNIGHTS
Players Emily Galvin Nathan Heal, Philip Knott, Tom Lydford, Theo Bibby, Jason Ying.  (Manager - Graham Knott)
Position 6 out of 8
Comments Despite their low position, Castles Knights only lost 1 of their 5 matches, drawing 3.  The did lose a point on a technicality  which cost them 5th place.
SEASON 2005-2006     -     Under 100: CASTLES SAINTS
Players Joseph Brownless, Tom Lydford, Edward Owen, Jason Ying.  (Manager - Neill Cooper)
Position 8 out of 10
Comments They ended as the middle of the 3 Castles teams and didn't disgrace themselves.  They managed a win and a draw in their 5 matches, the draw coming against Castles Seniors.
SEASON 2005-2006     -     Under 100: CASTLES SENIOR
Players Joshua Caulcott-Cooper (Capt), Freddy Gibson, Graham Knott, Sebastian Lumb, George West.
Position 10 out of 10
Comments Despite being the presumed strongest of the 3 Castles teams, they did in fact finish bottom. They only managed 2 draws in the last 2 rounds including one against Castles Saints. 
SEASON 2005-2006     -     Under 100: CASTLES WHYTE
Players Ruth Cooper, Nathan Heal, Daniel Hubbard, Phillip Knott, Charlotte West.  (Manager - Neill Cooper)
Position 5 out of 10
Comments 2 wins in the first 3 rounds had them well placed but 2 defeats in the final 2 rounds left them sitting mid-table, but they finished highest of the 3 Castles teams.
SEASON 2004-2005     -     Under 100: CASTLES
Players Joshua Caulcott-Cooper, Luke D'Souza-Benham, Sebastian Lumb, James Sullivan, George West, Ehsan Yoseflavi.
Position 6 out of 10
Comments Castles more than held their own in this new Under 100 competition, much more suited to the players involved.  They won 1 and drew 3 of their 5 matches.
SEASON 2003-2004     -     CASTLES
Players Neill Cooper, Jonathan Lui, Richard O'Neill, Ishan Ramdewar, Theo Woodland-Hill, Ehsan Yoseflavi.
Position 19 out of 20
Comments For comments on this season, you could just as well read the entry for the last season.  Again, the team were never likely to threaten the top and sadly withdrew from the competition after this season. 
SEASON 2002-2003     -     CASTLES GOLD
Players Neill Cooper (Capt), James Foster, Jonathan Lui, Becky O'Neill, Richard O'Neill, Michael Prizant, James Rudland.
Position 12 out of 12
Comments Castles are a junior club based in Whyteleafe who saw our competition as a perfect chance to test some of their junior players in adult ranks.  The team were always likely to struggle and were never likely to win but although finishing bottom, the season was a good test for several young players.
