Head Coach Barry Smith, has been working hard throughout the winter, preparing the teams for the season ahead which commences next month.

He has high hopes for his rookie team: “We have recruited players at both ends of the age groups, and our club now has players between 5 and 13 years of age.

“All the players have shown grit and determination and are excited by the prospect of starting the new season, for which I have high hopes.”
