Thank you also to
@dslcc1
for their help when one of our players suffered an injury during the game and needed assistance before a trip to hospital.
Credit to the club the way their committee members and spectators acted in making sure he was comfortable and looked after.
Whilst it should have been the start of the new season today, the club hasn't stood still our ground will now benefit from a newly installed drainage system on the outfield to alleviate the issues we had last year. Hopefully we can all get back playing soon. Stay safe everyone.
