We’ve had a successful off season recruiting a promising young squad which we believe will deliver a successful campaign in National League 2 South this year and give us plenty of potential to build on in the years to come.

The squad will be captained by Ross Hamilton who did a great job last year in adversity, he’ll be supported by Dan Watt in the Vice-Captain’s role.
