Pre-match views

Coach Anthony Wright: "We'll be a young squad this year as some boys have gone out on loan, and that's brilliant.

"Pre-season has gone well, with some good games against some senior sides, which is always a great experience for the younger boys.

"We know how well we did last year in the league, and I'm sure that adds a little pressure but they're a great group who have worked hard, so we're looking forward to getting the ball rolling again."
