We face a challenging season for the club this year with many goals ahead. As with every season the teams will be striving for promotion. To aid this we have grown our coaching resources and are in the capable hands of some of the best in the area. We will be starting our Junior Section in 2010, and the ladies will be reaching their 10th yr anniversary. The club continues to grow, with the formation of the ladies 4th XI. With the hard dedication you all put in, we will develop into one of the leading clubs in Warwickshire. So, play hard, win well, and celebrate with a drink in hand.
