IMPORTANT: Team Format for 2008-2009

For next season, the coaches/managers have decided to stick with 2 league-registered teams but we will have 3, evenly-balanced internal teams (provided we get enough players registered) - Eagles, Hawks and Falcons. This means there won’t be a development team. Since fixtures are more frequent at every 2 weeks, we will rotate the 3 teams so each gets to play the same number of fixtures. In this way, the players should get more than enough match time, overall. On match days, the team that’s not scheduled to take part will receive coaching as normal.

The coaching team (although extra helpers welcome) will consist of:

• Roy Burton and Martin Batstone - Eagles
• Jonathan O’Halloran and Mark Reed - Hawks
• Steve Barbé and Nick Thomson - Falcons

We will confirm who’s in what team once the season’s underway as we need to get the balance right and we also need to know who’s registered.

We will need additional volunteers to help on match days - for set-up, refereeing etc. We also need administrative help too, not to mention new people to take a stint on teas, coffees etc. To continue to successfully run the squad, we really need your active support so please volunteer if you can, even if you can only make some of the sessions. It really would be appreciated.

If you have any questions, please contact Roy or Jonathan in the first instance. We’ll get contact details sorted for the other coaches in due course.

Hope you’re all enjoying the beautiful summer we’re having ………….!
