Using over 40 players through the season is achievement enough, but managing to qualify for the top league only to get knocked out by eventual winners Ivybridge in the semi-final was an amazing achievement also.

The year ended with a fantastic tour to Ghent, in which the boys took part in much of the local culture, as well as winning a 16 team international tournament.

All in all, the boys part company as great friends with the older ones going travelling around the world, or into further education or the real world of work, let’s hope they continue playing wherever they end up.

The younger lads however stay on and take their experience into next year, roll on 26/27 season.

Many thanks
