Further work on the flood lights today. Last 3 bases have had their concrete poured. Pathways and seating area extended too.

Great to see the lights back up at Mountbatten!.
There is always 2 things u can guarantee when we put the lights up. It’s September and it is pouring of rain.
1/2 This Fridays Derby vs Honiton will be marked by celebrating the life of Hannah Grinsted who sadly passed away following a fight with Cancer at the age of 25. Hannah is the fiancée of Vikings midfielder Charlie Cox and tomorrow’s collection will go towards supporting
We dont think we have ever been prouder in defeat. To a man, the Hippos gave it all !
Last ditch tackles, blocks, great saves.
Proud of you lads.
Thank you to the travelling Hippos Herd for your support.
