There will be a game this weekend (Sat. December 5th) for both divisions against Surrey. The turnout to training last night was very poor (12 guys 3 of which were new). It has been a while since we last played but we need everyone out Wednesday night. If our field is closed this weekend we will be playing in Surrey and there field has been open for all of November and will be open Saturday. So get out and have a good session on Wednesday, knock off the rust and get ready to wrap up the first half with a big effort in both divisions. Games will be at the usual times of 1pm & 2.30pm.
See you at training on Wednesday at 6.30pm on the all weather field at Trout Lake.
