I would like to thank all the Players and Club Officials who have helped make my Tenure as Captain a privilege and a pleasure, I would also like to take this opportunity to wish Dave Elbourn all the best for his forthcoming season as Captain, And I'm sure he will be supported in his endevours by his Vice Captain Tony Stephens, good luck to both of you and thank you all.
