The players and staff of the Essex Spartans would like to wish everyone involved with the sport a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year!

There has been a very healthy level of interest in the club during the off-season from rookies to veterans - 2008 is looking good!

If you want to be a part of the team in any capacity (player / coach / statistician / sponsor) then you will be made very welcome - please contact Team Manager Tony Palmer or Head Coach David Barham for further details.

Open try-outs will be held in the new year - watch this space for more info and confirmation of dates.
