I’d spent 15 years being told where to be and when, what to eat and what to wear while enjoying the camaraderie of close friends and a huge rush each weekend. It’s losing that part, not the finances, that 95% of sportspeople struggle to cope with.

- Leon Lloyd

Table booking are now available for the Blaydon game where our pre-match guest speaker is Leon Lloyd who has built a reputation as an excellent, entertaining speaker. Added to that of course will be the inaugural game of the season against last year's relegated National 1 side.

Hinckley have recruited well and expect to build on last year's successful entry in to the National leagues. It will be a tough, exciting game and one which will underline the huge strides forward the club have made over the last few years.

Come down and support your local club. Tickets are £20 per person for individuals or £200 per table of 10. Ring John Dutton on 07925 123052 or Lucy Flatters on 07970 966590 to secure your table. It is a great day out and the best entertainment in Hinckley on a Saturday afternoon..
