We are now officially on the look out for players. Players of all abilities are welcome,” Club Secretary Conor Steed explained.

“We are always complimented on the atmosphere within the club, and have seen rise in interest in recent years and this will just add to that. We are delighted to be adding a women’s team and the reaction we have got has been great so far from everyone in the club. But again we are looking for more players. Anyone interested will be made more than welcome,” he concluded.
