As the Bristol & District League fixtures were recently published, Barrow Gurney found themselves facing last season’s Division 5 winners Bristol Lions in a tough start for the 1st XI under their new captain Frank Forge. At least they can look forward to starting the season at home at Hobbs Lane.
Meanwhile Mike Lilley’s 2nd XI face a trip to Bedminster 5ths to start their campaign in Division 13.
With pre-season nets scheduled to start in less than 2 months time (March 3rd) at Merchants Academy, it will soon be time to dust off the kit and look forward to the summer ahead.
