SUCCESSFUL SEASON
With the season now completed, the Committee wish to extend their congratulations and thanks to Richard and James Ball for their outstanding coaching of the side and the general enthusiasm they bring. We would also like to congratulate the players, the vast majority of whom have come through our junior system, for their displays this season. This is a very difficult league and we are not competing on a level playing field with our squad receiving no reward for playing and so the results are even more pleasing. Finally congratulations to the Youth who once again have had a very successful season and continue to provide a conveyor belt of quality players for our senior teams. In this respect, Youth coaches, Leighton Nichols, Mark Thomas and Ray Tyrrel must take a lot of credit for keeping churning out players.
