Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

The year saw a gradual recovery from the pandemic but junior numbers particularly had been severely impacted as we had not been able to go into schools. Adult players were less affected.

Thankfully there were no further shutdowns.

We continued our coaching programme with qualified coaches but it was very difficult to arrange school visits.

We have a remarkable youngster, Ralph Pattison, from a local school who is the outstanding player of his age in the country.

Other Sports / leisure activities

These recovered more quickly and have nearly returned to pre-pandemic levels.
