SEASON 2022-2023     -     PAWN COCKTAIL (1 team)
Players Paul Bloom, Annaliese Claustres, Olufemi George, Shasha Khan, Gavin Lock, and Dominic Warner (Capt)
Position,. 5th out of 8 in the Premiership
SEASON 2021-2022     -     PAWN COCKTAIL (1 team)
Players Paul Bloom, Shasha Khan, Steve Levey, Gavin Lock. Andrew Shoulders and Dominic Warner (Capt)
Position,. 5th out of 12
SEASON 2018-2019     -     PAWN COCKTAIL (2 teams)
Players William Ainsworth, Paul Bloom, Chris Carew, Liam Hylands, Shasha Khan, Steve Levey, Gavin Lock, Isabelle Pond, Dominic Warner (Capt), Cheuk Nam Wong.
Position Premiership - 1 of 6,  Championship - 4 of 6
Comments Champions for the first time in their history!  The 1st team led the way (aside of board points after the 1st round) from start to finish - and never really looked like relinquishing their lead.  Reliability of their top players was a big key in their run to the title.  Their 2nd team weren't quite so successful, finishing 4th after getting their only 2 wins against the team who achieved the wooden spoon.
SEASON 2017-2018     -     PAWN COCKTAIL (2 teams)
Players William Ainsworth, Paul Bloom, Chris Carew, Alan Hanreck, Steve Levey, Isabelle Pond, Michael Prizant, Dominic Warner (Capt), Tim Warner-Burley, Cheuk Nam Wong.
Position Premiership - 3 of 8,  Championship - 3 of 6
Comments Due to some very useful Summer signings, they managed to put a good enough case forward to retain their place in the top division - and didn't disappoint.  A good 3rd placed finish in the end, despite a couple of their stronger players not being available more than would have been ideal.  Had they been, the title would not have been beyond them.  The 2nd team started reasonably, but then fell away, not helped by 3 defaults in 2 rounds towards the end of the season.
SEASON 2016-2017     -     PAWN COCKTAIL (1 team)
Players William Ainsworth, James Hussain, Aditya Jain, Steve Levey, Dominic Warner (Capt), Cheuk Nam Wong.
Position Premiership - 8 of 8
Comments An essential requirement to survive in the Premiership would have been a big hitter signing last summer; sadly this was not possible.  Although there were the occasional individual shock results, the inevitable relegation came with defeat in every match.  However, even without new stronger players, they should challenge again in the Championship.
SEASON 2015-2016     -     PAWN COCKTAIL (1 team)
Players Matthew Hoy, Aditya Jain, Steve Levey, Kartik Velayudham, Dominic Warner (Capt), Cheuk Nam Wong.
Position Championship - 1st of 8
Comments A comprehensive final round win in a final head-to-head match for promotion took them to the title when a draw would not have been enough.  They remained unbeaten although only won just over half of their matches.  They did well to make it with one of their players unavailable for the vast majority of the season.
SEASON 2014-2015     -     PAWN COCKTAIL (1 team)
Players Dominic Warner (Capt), Victor Bluett, Kartik Velayudham, Steve Levey, Cheuk Nam Wong, Matthew Hoy, Aditya Jain.
Position Championship: 5th out of 6      Cup - Lost in Intermediate Round
Comments After relegation last year, they had to completely re-vamp their squad for the new season but despite avoiding defaults still had trouble getting all their players out with one not available for much of the season. Their nemesis this season was The Team with No Name, who knocked them out the cup on board count and who also won 2 from 2 in the last 2 rounds, including a last round victory over Pawn Cocktail, to save themselves and potentially relegate Pawn Cocktail for the 2nd season in a row.  However they may well survive with the re-formatting of the competition.
SEASON 2013-2014     -     PAWN COCKTAIL
Players Gavin Lock, Chas Fellows, Prashast Vir, Dominic Warner (Capt), Steve Levey.
Position Premiership - 6th out of 6      Cup - Lost in Cup Q-F
Comments They continued their patten of yo-yoing but dropping back to the Championship.  They had a great start with a win in the cup against holders Pawn Crackers, but lost to them later in the season in the league.  Their only win was against the team who just escaped the drop in the middle match of the season, but they couldn't carry the form into the final 2 matches and ended having lost 4 of the 5 matches.
SEASON 2012-2013     -     PAWN COCKTAIL
Players Chas Fellows, Prashast Vir, Dominic Warner (Capt), Steve Levey, James Maguire.
Position Championship - 1st out of 6      Cup - lost in semi-final of plate
Comments Currently a yo-yo team after coming back up to the top division again, despite losing and drawing one of their 5 league matches.  They will probably need to sign a strong player to bolster their squad if they want to have a chance of challenging for honours rather than being embroiled in a relegation battle again next season.
SEASON 2011-2012     -     PAWN COCKTAIL
Players Sam Fry, Steve Levey, James Maguire, Patrick Rice, Victoria Sit, Prashast Vir, Dominic Warner (Capt)
Position Championship - 8th out of 8
Comments It was a tough season not helped by key players being unavailable at key moments.  In the 7 rounds they managed to record 3 draws but were beaten on the other occasions and slipped straight back down, albeit to the new middle division.
SEASON 2010-2011     -     PAWN COCKTAIL
Players Delroy Bennett, Steve Levey, James Maguire, Patrick Rice, Victoria Sit, Dominic Warner (Capt)
Position Championship - 2nd out of 8
Comments After a good start, Pawn Crackers slipped just behind the leaders after drawing in round 3.  However a good run took them top with only 2 rounds to go, but defeat to Real Betis meant that they had to concede the title to their conquerors, but consoled themselves with promotion after 3 seasons in the lower division.
SEASON 2009-2010     -     PAWN COCKTAIL
Players Delroy Bennett, Steve Levey, James Maguire, Patrick Rice, Dominic Warner (Capt)
Position Championship - 3rd out of 8
Comments Always the bridesmaids and never the bride!  Pawn Cocktail won bronze medals again having also narrowly missed out on promotion last season.  A shock defeat to CCF Juniors in round 3 was probably what cost them and they never quite got back on the pace.
SEASON 2008-2009     -     PAWN COCKTAIL
Players Delroy Bennett, Steve Edwards, Patrick Rice, Duke Quinton, James Schenck, Dominic Warner (Capt)
Position Championship - 3rd out of 8
Comments Following relegation, their squad completed changed, but they started well and were heading for an immediate return to the Premiership until crucial defeats in rounds 5 and 6 saw them slip back off the pace so that even a final round victory was not enough and they stay down another year.  
SEASON 2007-2008     -     PAWN COCKTAIL
Players Bobby Aspinall, Matt Darville, Daniel Gliddon (Capt), Ian Pratley, Dan Quinton.
Position Premiership - 7th out of 8
Comments A desperately disappointing season saw Pawn Cocktail finish in the relegation zone after a very tight finish to the season.  Having won their first match against the team that eventually finished below them, they failed to win again during the whole of the season, picking up only 2 draws.
SEASON 2006-2007     -     PAWN COCKTAIL
Players Bobby Aspinall, Paul Bloom, Matt Darville, Daniel Gliddon (Capt), Dan Quinton, Duke Quinton.
Position 7th out of 12
Comments After the heights of last season, a mid-table finish was disappointing, but the team was hit badly by Paul Bloom having to withdraw towards the end of the season.
SEASON 2006-2007     -     Under 100: PAWN COCKTAIL
Players Chris Chapman (Capt), Remy Claustres, Caspian Heeler, Robert Smart, John Trubshaw.
Position 3th out of 8th
Comments Only 1 win in the first 3 rounds put pay to any title ambitions, but 2 wins in 2 at the end took them into the prize zone.
SEASON 2005-2006     -     PAWN COCKTAIL
Players Matt Darville, Paul Bloom, Jeff Fleischer, Matthew Lunn, Daniel Gliddon (Capt), Duke Quinton.
Position 2nd out of 14
Comments This was a good season, but Pawn Cocktail were eclipsed by Good Knights, who won 7 and drew 2, effectively ending the Pawn Cocktail challenge when the teams met in round 5.
SEASON 2005-2006     -     Under 100: PAWN COCKTAIL
Players Paul Braithwaite, David Green, Angarjan Kallaivannan, Arun Kallaivannan, Robert Smart, John Trubshaw. 
Position 7th out of 10
Comments It was a good start to this season with a win, but the remaining 4 rounds only saw 1 draw achieved and a low finish.
SEASON 2004-2005     -     PAWN COCKTAIL
Players Paul Bloom, Matt Darville, Jeff Fleischer, Daniel Gliddon, Matthew Lunn, Tom O'Neill
Position 8th out of 20
Comments It was a good start to the season for Pawn Cocktail but things fell away badly towards the end and an 8th place finish was well below what they should have achieved
SEASON 2004-2005     -     Under 100: PAWN COCKTAIL
Players David Green, Matthew Kerr, Robert Smart, John Trubshaw, Dominic Warner.  (Manager - Daniel Gliddon).
Position 4th out of 10
Comments It was a poor start for Pawn Cocktail but the recovered in the 2nd half of the season to finish in the top half of the table.
SEASON 2003-2004     -     PAWN COCKTAIL
Players Paul Bloom, Vikas Chadha, Matt Darville, Daniel Gliddon (Capt), Francis Lobo, Matthew Lunn, Neeilan Ravindran
Position 14th out of 20
Comments A yo-yo season for Pawn Cocktail reflected in a mid-season finish.  Disappointing when considering the strength of the squad.
SEASON 2002-2003     -     PAWN COCKTAIL
Players Paul Bloom, Chris Chapman, Matt Darville, Daniel Gliddon (Capt), Matthew Lunn, Tom Shillingford, 
Position 4th out of 12
Comments It was a mixed season of results for this strong looking team assembled by Daniel Gliddon, but it was enough to get them into the prize zone in their first season in the Super League.
