We've played Barkers Butts a few times in the last season or two.

They are a strong side who initially had the better of us but recently we have had closer games and have beaten them in the last couple of encounters.

If we are to put in a good performance this week it's important that players are well prepared for the game. Getting some slow release carbs in them by 12.30 and getting to Pickford Grange Lane at 13.00 will really help us get everyone ready to be at their best for the 14.00 KO.

There is normally food for players after the game and parents are welcome to join us all in the club when the game is over for a little 'Post match analysis'.

Looking forward to seeing you all there.

Coaches & Gofer :-)

Finally, if your availability changes please make sure you mark up PitcHero as soon as you can. it is never too early or too late to do this. Please note that and as of January 2019 we'll no longer be managing any player availability or future match info on WhatsApp so its important that you keep PH up to date with your players' availability status.
