When Medium Dave Met Big and Little Dave

I’ve interviewed some big names in the past…Michael Garvin, Chris Taylor…myself but I’ve not been this anxious since playing alongside Charlton Phil. Around one year ago I was the only Dave registered with the Sporting Crabs but over the past twelve months I’ve become ‘Medium Dave’ or ‘Average Dave’ – not due to my ability…

Crabs Pinch Three Points With Ten Men

Off the back of their ‘Giant Killing’ against London Giants (if you don’t like crowbarred puns then stop reading now), The Crabs looked to make it two wins on the bounce for the first time this season away to their old adversaries Wig Army. Having struggled to cope with Wig’s physical presence and years of…
