With the new season looming over the horizon, there are just four weeks left for players to sharpen up their own conditioning before training starts in earnest.

New player/coach, Liam McGovern, will be looking at all available talent to establish his own squad for the pre-season warm-up matches and those in the frame for selection for First Team shirts at the start of the new South Lancs / Cheshire One League Season.

There is no doubt that reporting in fit will register an early impression on our new coaching team and allow them to concentrate more on game skills and planning than on conditioning.

For sure, this coming season, we will be better prepared than last. Head Coach McGovern will be assisted by Liam Sadler, Steve Pilgrim and former Premiership scrum-half, Chris Pilgrim, creating a stellar coaching team.

The Club pre-season sessions commence on Tuesday 2 July at Vauxhalls, from 6.45pm and continue every Tuesday and Thursday thereafter.

The "Guv" hopes to arrange three warm-up games before the start of the league campaign and these will be announced soon.
