Mariners Season Review: The era of HC Michael Callan carried on where that of HC Matt Coppinger left off with the Mariners’ third play-off appearance in 4 years. The pre-Christmas matches were a mixed bag with victories over Royal Holloway and Kent but a heavy loss at the hands of the Southampton Stags. Another gut wrenching loss by the Essex Blades left a bad taste going into the holiday break. The new year saw a nail-biting 20-16 victory over key divisional opponents Portsmouth Destroyers set the tone for a 3 game winning streak shutting out Surrey and Brighton Universities along the way. With a play-off placed sealed bogey team Hertfordshire Hurricanes rode into Avery Hill and took apart a self-destructing Mariners team. Although the performance was far better during the following week’s rematch the result wasn’t as the ‘canes sent Greenwich crashing out of the post season. A highlight included former Mariner Jason Brisbane playing for the NFL's San Diego Chargers, well done Bris!
