Hi all,

As years 10 and 11 have exams in week 6, I am inviting all U14 and U16 squad members to attend the Monday (03/06/19) training session (usually reserved for U19 squads) to capitalise on the coaching resources allocated for those sessions.

Training is from 3:30pm to 5pm.

Please let me know if there are any issues or questions.

Cheers,
