Manager: Ben S (Yorkshire)
Twitter name: @BenCSilver
Since: 2011
Last season: Runner up
Trophy cabinet: empty (best finish – last season)
Sympathies: Leeds
Darts music: Lokomotiv Anthem
Outlook: Competent team with the potential to mount a challenge in their second Kenna season. All the money’s gone on Rising Sun Kagawa, Sigurdsson, and shoring up a defence that has already bagged two goals. Ryan Taylor’s free kicks a snip at point five. The manager will be hoping to avoid the downturn in form last season, after high flying at Christmas.
