The Herts Ad Sunday League continued its run to the end of the season with fixtures on Easter Sunday - but they do so without one of their most famous names.
Skew Bridge have been one of the most successful clubs to even ply their trade in the league, lifting 26 trophies in their history including the Herts Sunday Senior Cup for five years running.
They also won the Premier Division crown in five out of six seasons but have been forced to quit this year after struggling to raise a team.
The good news though is they plan to make a comeback next season. They have eight players willing to continue and hope to recruit some new, younger blood in time for the 2023-24 campaign.
