All our players are currently out and about with Sponsor Cards (where players can purchase club gear depending on how much money they collect). This is one of our main fundraisers so it would be great if we got loads of support, which to be fair we usually do. Regards the Presentation Day all our managers (under-10U-15’s) must get their thinking caps on and mull over who they will be selecting as their Player of the Year and Most Improved Player of the Year. As part of our Presentation Day we will have loads of fun games, which will include ‘Bubble Football’ for all our teams from the season just finished.
