I am writing to update everyone on how things are progressing as there has been a lot of activity since the end of the season. Firstly we wanted to arrange our preseason friendlies with as tough an opposition as we could, so that it will prepare us as best as possible for the season ahead and we are very happy with the calibre of games we have.
Next was to invite all our current squad back for preseason and any changes or movements in the squad we would need to replace and ideally improve to strengthen the squad where possible. This is never an easy job especially as the current squad was full of good players and in a league which has many clubs with bigger finances than ourselves.
However the league table does not lie and even though we finished 7th we were some 21 points off the playoffs and felt that we needed to improve by adding to the squad a combination of experience and young hungry players to help improve the balance of the team.
It was also important to retain a number of the current squad with which we are pleased with how many boys will be returning and we will keep you updated with this as best as we can.
That does not mean the activity has finished as we are still in discussions with a number of players as we want to make this team as competitive as we can for the coming season and hopefully will be able to confirm shortly some more exciting news.
We are now two weeks from preseason and Jim and myself have been working tirelessly to make sure everything is in place for the players to have the best chance to get the right fitness levels and gel as a squad and cannot wait to get started.
Once again I hope this gives you a little insight and update as the season never really stops and thank you again for all your support cheers
