A huge effort put in by all, with special thanks to Adrian Tucker for his countless dedication and organisation skills, Vince Langdon with helping me out officiate the vortex event and chasing the vortex around the field, throwing it back (defiantly not hitting me on the odd occasion!), Josh Shapters dad for holding and pull the tape measure! and a thank you to the parents for supporting this year’s team.

Summer training times (to continue until end September) We have completed a plan of this summer’s training schedule and times! (This will be a trail, so if this new approach does not work then we will revert back to the old times and age groups)
Sessions will still be at Churston Ferrers Grammar School field. However, there will now be one session that will run from 6pm until 7.45pm for all age groups. Groups will be split into manageable/ coachable groups where athletes will move around on a carousel of activities, trying a bit of running, throwing and jumping in one session. These sessions will start on the first Monday back after half term (13/04/2015). If you have any concerns on this issue please don’t hesitate to contact us.
