Over the past 18 months we have worked hard to advance the team’s skills and knowledge of the game. Joining the women’s senior league 21/22 season was a great help in developing the squad, and we’re really excited to be able to travel off-island for their first official tournament. Well done to everyone selected.”

Rob Mason, Co-Captain of the men’s team, added: “This is a great opportunity to continue our development and challenge ourselves against established men’s teams in England. This will help us see how far we have come in our first season and understand what further improvements are needed as we move forward.”
