🏴‍☠️ AHOY, PIRATES! 🏴‍☠️

Hear ye, hear ye! 📣

Unfortunately, pre-season training is CANCELLED this Sunday, 6th September. 🌧️🏴‍☠️

The grounds be a little too wet for the Pirate ship to dock, and with it being Father’s Day, we reckon our Pirates deserve a day off! 🥎💛

So, put the boots away, enjoy some family time, and give those Pirate dads a well-earned day of rest! 👨‍👧‍👦🏴‍☠️

We’ll be back on deck soon, ready to get stuck into pre-season! 💪🥎

Happy Father’s Day to all our Pirate Dads! 💛🖤
