JKS England Nationals Success

On Sunday 16th November we had a fantastic day at the JKS England National championships in Grantham.  A big thank you to all coaches on the day (Paul, Mark and Anthony) and to Steve Clarke for helping out the competition, along with myself, on refereeing duties.  I would also like to say a massive thank you to Jo Wilkes for all her administrative help in getting entries in and keeping everyone updated with important information which she has done all year for the squad.  Finally a huge thank you to all parents, family and friends who made the trip to support our team.
