There was no happy ending for the Stellar Devils tonight as they went down 36-53 to the table-topping Leicester Lion Cubs in their final match of the season. Any hopes that the Leicester boys were saving themselves for important matches later this weekend were soon dashed, and congratulations to them on a very strong showing.

The Stellar Devils' final match of the season tomorrow just got tougher, as table-topping Leicester Cubs will be calling Dan and Joe Thompson back into their side now that the Championship Playoff Final first leg (due for tomorrow at Poole) has been called off. The Thompsons would have been part of that.
