County training has resumes and the county is committed to inter-county matches in 8U to Open events. Visit our match schedule here. To be updated at fixtures are added.

In 2019, we WON the County Cup Race for the first time. Our 2020 campaign started on 28th February with the 18U County Cup. Our Girls defended their National Title in Bath, and Boys topped Group 2 in Wirral which means we have two teams in Group 1 for 2021. See more info here.
