Comment now on the latest news at the Forum SINKS SPLASH OUT Devin back at Belfast in mega-deal Belfast have made Sarkis Devin their latest big money signing, Paul Hunt adding the two-time WU21 finalist to a side which already features the last two World Champions in Jan Tomanek (SL15) and Stephan Beck (SL14). 20 year old Devin finished last season on loan at the Titanic, he averaging 10.42 in an impressive spell in the league and was also a key part of the quartet which won the 4TT. It’s now a permanent switch from Swinton, but at a cost of £400,000 plus world number seven Liam Harris and Owen Peacock, at £1/2million Harris remains Belfast’s record buy. Hunt has also re-jigged his lower order, with £200,000 capture Patrick Parry now lining up at second string, he along with new reserve Stephen Churchill arriving from Wednesfield. At 29 Churchill is by far the oldest of the Sinks’ SL16 septet. While Belfast will be looking to regain the title they lost on the final day of last season, top flight newcomers Balham have a much lower target in their sights, which is to avoid relegation. The prized addition of former world number seven Rafal Grabowski as their number one for the campaign should help in achieving that goal, it’s another loan spell for the 23 year old, a sixth of his short career and a fourth since signing for Hallamshire towards the end of SL12. A new number one also for Houston, the European Cup winners taking Tabor Andros from Harringay in a deal which sees the more experienced Daniel Pesola switch to the Hoods. The change is seen as a bit of a gamble by Colts’ boss George Seymour, Andros earned his current career best GSA of 8.66 in the third tier, he ended the previous year with a mark of just 5.57, an improvement which may be difficult to sustain.
