Although we have seen a few players leave (and we wish them well in their new clubs) we have a number of new players joining the 1st Squad, namely Todd Freeman, 22, (Havant), while England under-18 players Aaron Hibell and Jack Clee have switched from Beeston and Marlow respectively who joins up with Ben Boon England U21.

The men play their first Now Pensions league game at Surbiton on Saturday at 18:30 - playing after the Ladies first Investec League game at 14:30. We wish both new coaches and teams good luck for the start of an exciting season.
