I would like to thank all the clubs that have made their facilities available for us this year, along with the dedication from the whole Performance Squad, led by Dave Hares for the incredible amount of time they spend dedicated to the cause.
We are indebted to Ian James, Tom Motley, Donard Duffy, James Tuck, Tom Gillespie and Jamie Casling for the way they look after the teams, along with Debbie in bringing along the Academy players that form the succession plan.
As predicted this year was another stellar year, I am sure next year will be as well and that our new Coaching Manager will do an excellent job over the winter.
