BECAUSE of Coronavirus and Lockdown 2, we obviously haven’t been able to play any matches for me to report on, so here’s some fun stuff instead. Due to this, here are profiles of some of the squad.  All responses are definitely in good humour and show our usual banter.  We’re a really strong, close bunch and have had a bit of a laugh compiling these.  We’re kicking off with profiles from the Gaffer – Dave José  Hughes and Matt - our team Captain.  Hope you enjoy them.
