The club were proud to be part of the FA silent weekend, leaving the children to play without influence from the side-lines and as the oakleaf was closed for the firework display all our teams had to play their matches away.
There were no fixtures for our women and u23’s as well as 6 of our junior teams.
Before our u14’s game they had a visit from Mark Preston who very kindly donated a portable defibrillator to the team. Mark has been working hard to raise money to be able to provide this potentially lifesaving piece of equipment to local sports teams and we are extremely grateful that we have been lucky enough to receive one. A massive THANK YOU to him and his team of fundraisers. You are all doing a fantastic job, keep up the good work
