Following recent league success both Adult teams are rebuilding with results reflecting this. We have once again been very lucky to promote 4 Youth players into the Adult section. We continue to hold “Mini Kickers” training sessions for 3-5 years old each Saturday morning at Coronation Playing Fields, from 10am during the season. This gives children a first taste of football, focusing on the fun element of sport and teamwork. The café is open at the playing fields every Saturday morning during the season if you fancy a coffee, bacon roll or cakes! Interested in joining the club? Have any further questions?
