The 1st team management are absolutely delighted to announce that all of last seasons squad have signed for the 2014/2015 season.
1st team manager Barry Regelous and Player coach Tim Moffatt claimed this was the most important business they had to get done through out pre season. Moffatt went on to add "last season we showed improvements and caused a few upsets along the way. I believe this was down to the team having a settle side and a strong nucleus of Farleigh players. It was imperative that during this pre season we retained last season squad that was with out doubt the most important task. Our development throughout last season was there for everybody to see. The management and squad strongly believe we can build on those foundations we set from last season. We have been pleased with how pre season has gone it has highlighted a few areas where we need to strengthen and it has also allowed the players to get competitive game time. We have now played six pre season friendlies to date all against step 5 opposition which has challenged our players and highlighted weaknesses for us to work on"
