It’s compulsory for each player to have their own football style boots and shin guards for both training and matches.
How can my parents help the club?
We are purely a volunteer only club and therefore rely on our members to assist our hard working committee with the day to day running of the club. During home matches, we ask our parents to assist in ground line marking, canteen duty and other activities that may arise. We are always looking for parents to assist our committee too.
