Training Schedules for Mark Hall and Herts and Essex are posted in Training

A month or so ago, a lifetime for this my rookie squad, we were celebrating that we had found an attacking formation that worked. And in the course of a match, we were able to move from a low single figure score in a match to double figures. An injury to our centre, Kacey, soon [...]

We knew our last game of the season against Turnford was going to be tough – they always bring a strong physical component to their play. On the day we were down to a bare seven to play with Rhiana turning up to support the team nursing her injured wrists. It turned out to be [...]
