Round One
A reminder that Round One fixtures begin this weekend for all ladies teams and for the majority of the men’s sides. Men’s Willows have another two weeks until their opening match on the 7th of October. The men’s 2nd and 3rd XI’s played their round one league games on Saturday, winning 5-1 and going down 5-0 respectively. Good luck to all teams this weekend!
Start of the Season Barbeque
To celebrate the beginning of the season ahead, there will be a barbeque at the clubhouse on Saturday the 30th of September starting at 17:00. Our men’s 1st XI play their first home league game at this time, so it would be great to see as many people as possible at the club supporting, enjoying the food and company.
