2018-09-21-SB19-BBC

Following last Sunday (September 16th) and the visit from BBC South East, to coincide with Junior training, the club has now featured on BBC TV on Thursday evening.  A great feature involving Sophie Bray, Men's 1st Team Captain Simon Faulkner and Ladies 1st Team player Jojo Blunt did a great job of raising the profile of the sport and of course of our club.  Read on for more including how you can see the video if you missed it and also when you can see our 1st Teams in Action !

On Sunday 16th, the Juniors were treated to coaching by members of both our Mens and Ladies' 1st Teams.  With the rise of several teams in the South East its great to see the sport being featured and especially across Ladies and Mens 1st Teams as well as our Juniors. 

Simon Faulkner talked about that rise of local friends Sevenoaks, Holcombe and long time top tier friends Canterbury.  Sophie talked about why she returned to England and EG, and Jojo Blunt talked about the opportunities that will emerge for developing stars in coming seasons.
