Spot on assessment. Sorry ME dreamers. That's the reality.
I jump around a few age groups both older and younger than 2019. The idea that Mass Elite is a top 5 team must really only exist in this 2019 age group. The ages that I am familiar with they are nowhere near top 5. Therefore as a club they are not considered a top club. But there are many clubs that are generally weak but capture lightning in a bottle for one team. I'm guessing this is what you have here.
