Manager of the Men’s first team, Darren Sarll, was on hand at the Ladies training session on Thursday night to wish Reece Buck and his Ladies team the best of luck for their clash against Ipswich Town on Sunday, 1pm.   While Sarll’s Men’s side will face Swindon Town tomorrow at 3pm.

Not only was Sarll there to lend his encouragement, he has previously managed members of the Ladies squad including skipper Donna McGuigan, and has taken a hands on approach with the Ladies team this season, assisting with pre-season training,  attending some of their matches, and is keen to see the club progress in both competitions this year.
