Many congratulations to the U11 boys and girls who both won the Berkshire round and go forward to play in the South regional tournaments on 26 April (girls) and 27 April (boys).
Neil Boddington (boys) and Don Williams (girls) will be running the two teams and they will be communicating with the squads direct about training preparations and the tournament itself.
End of Season Fun Morning - Sunday 20 April
Once again we end the season with a fun morning. There will be parents v players matches from 9.30-11.00 followed by a BBQ. All parents are encouraged to play.
As always help with running the BBQ on the day would be greatly appreciated. Proceeds will be used to fund the five new goalkeeping sets we have just bought.
