The winter sun was shining as the competitors assembled for Round 4 of the 2025/26 Frostbite League. Unfortunately the field for this match was diminished by winter bugs, the cold and one a competitor who, obviously having overdone the New Year revelries, simply forgot.
A sharp, -4°C, overnight frost left the ground hard and the grass crispy. By the time the first shots were fired the winter sun had raised the temperature to around the 2°C mark, luckily the wind was generally light so the cold was bearable.
