This week we have Tuesday training and Thursday training but this week will be a little bit different as we are playing the Wanderers at their home ground on Wednesday night. It has been a few seasons in which the Ravens have played the Wanderers and usually these games are very firey which all the players involved love. So keep your eyes open for the location of the game and the Ravens will bring home a third straight victory!!!
Summer training has been back at King George Park for the last weeks. Training on Tuesday starts at six. Attendance has been great and remember to be selected in the starting line up you must attend all training sessions.
