Hey all,

A great result for our last tour of the season with a SOD 1.1 victory!

4 wins and 1 loss was just enough to keep Sri Lanka at bay, who gave us a good touch up for our only loss of the week.

Thanks to those who continue to help me out on top of their already busy schedules, a great last tour as we head into the World Cup.

Very grateful to those managers who have given up their players for touring weeks and for supporting us, the wc should see some new faces feature as the team starts to age out.

Welcome on board aarong as assistant this season, very excited to have you on board!

Also as per blog post today, we are looking at a big rebuild this season in preparation for the SOD WC next season.

Looking to build a core group of players in preparation for the Senior WC at the end of season 62.

With this in mind we will not be selecting any players over 28.5 in season 61.

This does however mean that we will look at players of a slightly lower wage/rating than previously with space to develop. We will also favour in game talents over higher skill based players with irrelevant talents. Please reach out if you have someone you want looked at.

Its been a good while since I've been on the Nat scene, but the rebuild will help me get back into the swing of things.
A lot of cracking younger player comings through to blood into the World Cup pathway.
