2000-2001 was the first season that Milton Keynes played in the 4NCL. As there were 16 teams in the 3rd division, the season was split into 2 parts. In the first part, there were 2 pools of 8 teams each where each team played each other once. The top 4 teams from each pool then went into division 3 and the bottom 4 teams from each went into division 4. The pool results against the other teams in the same division were carried forward and then added to the results against the teams from the other pool, giving a season total of 11 matches. Seeing the calibre of the opposition, my personal opinion was that we stood a good chance of finishing in the top half of division 4. However, we started very well and secured 4th place in our pool in just 6 matches. Consequently, we played in division 3 against the top teams and only managed a single draw in the second part of the season.
