“We launched our first junior coaching programme 18 months ago, and I remember the first two sessions with just three players.

“These workshops were actually a lot of fun, but now the same sessions are full and we have a waiting list.

“I think that the best thing about it is the positive feedback from the young players and their parents.

“These make all the hard work worthwhile, and are mostly a testament to their own efforts.”
