Aberfeldy Astro is a Hit !

Many thanks to all those who attended the Aberfeldy after school club on Monday night, the first night on the new astro pitch.All those attending clearly enjoyed themselves and it was great to see everyone trying out their attacking skills on the wider pitch.Well done to Johnny and Hayden who both managed to pull off some outrageous dummies , and to Henry and Eddie who both mastered the switch pass.
Next week there will be some new skills drills and a new version of end ball.
All new players are very welcome and we look forward to seeing you all next Monday night.
ps Don`t forget your drinks.
