Pre-season training begins at 7pm on July 6 so any coaches or players who are interested in joining the club can call John Payne on 07884 234941.

The club wrapped up this magnificent season with a gentlemen's dinner, sponsored by Heritage Building Supplies and Graphitas marketing and communications agency.

After his best season to date, with call-ups to the Norfolk and Eastern Counties squads, Luke Wade walked away with the prestigious Mike Puxley players' player of the year award as well as that for most improved player.
