There’s lots of hard work to be done to steer the club away from the relegation zone but with the new management team,changes on and off the field and the players ready to fight I know come the end of the season we will be in a much better position

Everyone at the club are all ready for the battle ahead and the hard works already started

Roll on the first game against White Ensign and hope to see you at a game soon
