Coaches Corner

Selection this week has been hard again with players returning from injuries and holidays.

This is great for the club as it means I can rest players that have put in big shifts in recent games.

We have a mixture of youth and experience on the bench that we can call on. Our youngsters are our biggest focus as they are the future of the club and have shown great dedication in training and games so far this season.

Matt Cappell

All support is welcome as the mighty Wheats look to continue their great form!
