Meerkats
The Manchester Meerkats are a team of do-gooders by day who mob together to play in the league’s top divisions, enter national tournaments and (organically) paint the town purple by night.
Known for having the best kit (besides Screwballs), beer socials and mutually-assured destructive team criticism, the ‘Kats are a team even Martin Luther King dreamed about.
