Leicester Eagles won the first English Senior Flag League 5man
tournament of 2004 with 3 wins out of 3. North Devon Dogs and
Staffordshire A also came out of the round robin tournament
unbeaten to start the year well. With seven of the best ESFL sides
competing, the games were played to a good standard which has
given all the clubs excellent preparation for the season ahead and
especially Team USA's visit in June where there will be 2 or 3
sides who will be fancying their chances of a scalp.
