The team are hoping to play to a full crowd and are urging fellow students, friends and family to come along and support them.  They have even organised refreshments for their supporters. 

Phil Haden a foundation studies tutor and the team manager said,” I know the team are looking forward to playing in front of our home crowd and are excited about playing in the Stobart Stadium.  I am extremely proud of the team as they have worked well to be in the top position and have already qualified for the National finals in Bath which will take place, the last weekend in March. We hope everyone will come to the Stobart Stadium to cheer the team on, it promises to be a great afternoon. ”
