Yesterday morning the club were devastated to hear of the passing of former member Josh Downie.
Josh represented the club brilliantly across his 3 years at university, and made a great impression on a lot of people.
He will be sorely missed.
Stay safe and love to all.

We couldnโt not include this grab during the 2019 season! He is a gun fielder.
All the close catching practice on a sunny Hyde park definitely came in handy here!
We should be passing the Pyrenees now! Springs is on the horizon... We thought weโd have a look through a telescope from the top! Hereโs what we saw!

Donโt think anyone couldโve anticipated just how much we would raise, so we thank you all... the link will be staying live for a few more days!
Donโt think any of the squad could quite have imagined that we would raise quite this much mone, or completing them a day early!
We are still encouraging the squad to go out and cover a few km today to see how far we can get in total!
Thanks to all the squad and every donor!๐
