With so many wonderful performances it made the decision athlete of the match very difficult. After a very long and hot day the team managers and their great support staff were very proud of all the Team.

A massive thank you to all the officials, the supporters and the guys working in the club room made our home match a very successful one. What a great bunch you are 🙂

With three matches to go in our 2018 season the home straight is insight, keep working hard and the rewards will come. See you all in our promotion match in Swindon on the 21st of July
