Here’s an update on the early part of the summer competitive season. We have been told that the matches listed below have been cancelled: Saturday 24 April for under 13s and under 15s (school years 6, 7, 8 and 9). Sunday 2 May for under 17s and under 20s (school years 10, 11, 12 and...

The Government’s coronavirus road map suggests that, assuming things go OK in March, we may be allowed to get back to group training in April – although in our case we would need both Imberhorne and Sackville schools to allow us to use their facilities. We are due to have one league match in April...

Many thanks to Phil Rogers for running a number of training sessions last week during half-term at a  variety of green spaces in the town. Under the current rules training can take place on a 1 to 1 basis with a further requirement that if the athlete is under 18 then a parent has to...

During this last week club members should have received an e-mail setting out our provisional fixtures for the coming 2021 summer – subject of course to whatever coronavirus restrictions are with us in the summer months. If you haven’t received a copy then contact Lester Medcalf...

We feel this is the correct decision to make for the health and safety of...
