The Poloc Pythons will be back in tapeball action a week yesterday as the 2018-19 Tapeball League starts up for its second season. The Pythons' first match sees them take on some motley crew called "Dynamic Dale", whoever they are! Thereafter the fixture card sees matches against Greater Pollok Eagles, Asian All Stars, Motherwell CC and Govanhill CC, in that order. As usual we'll be keeping up with the side's fortunes as the season progresses. |
