Under 13’s have Great team spirit, welcoming new players in the 19/20 season. Excellent coaching by dedicated coaches, the right balance of discipline & fun, everyone is valued & supported and gets a game. They might not be the biggest club, but they play well above their limit. Looking forwards to see the team grow in the coming season.
