Although players were delighted to be back in business last week it was tempered by the knowledge that their club has been the subject of break and enters over the past weeks.
Although these events were extremely disappointing, members have also seen the better side of human nature. Thanks to the generosity of Waka from Titan Sheds and Nathan from Bennet Engineering the club house has been fitted with steel frames on the windows and the members could not be more grateful to both businesses.
