08-09 Season

The first season back in the first division proved to be a roller coaster of a ride, after seven games the Hammers were second bottom and with a massive cup game against Elland AFC looming changes were needed to improve the club's fortunes.

The signings somewhat changed the fortunes for the Hammers seasons and after defeating Elland 2-1 the team finished a respectable 5th in the league missing out on promotion by 5 points and with Mini winning league player of the year things are looking bright for the new season.
