2.      Clubs Annual Report

This year (2023) proved to be successful for both our Junior and Senior teams, marked by significant progress and commendable results. Additionally, we welcomed a substantial number of new athletes to our teams, contributing to the success of our goals.

We had a representation in the Wakefield league with a junior team (U16s) and a senior men's team. Both teams performed admirably, securing 6th and 3rd place, with the senior team achieving the same points as the 1st-placed team.

In the forthcoming year (2024), we aim to participate in the Wakefield League with two junior teams (U14s & U16s) and one senior men's team.

We would like to express our gratitude to the committee and coaching team for their dedicated efforts. Their contributions significantly ease the task of managing a club with a strong sense of friendship and ambitious sporting goals.
