Men’s Captain’s Message 2024/25

As men’s Blues captain, I’m thrilled to share our progress following a truly unforgettable season. Last year, we achieved two major milestones: promotion to Midlands 1A and a triumphant victory in the Midlands Conference Cup. These accomplishments have fuelled our ambition for the current campaign, and the squad is more motivated than ever to build on that success.

The highlight of last season was undoubtedly lifting the Midlands Conference Cup. That moment underscored the depth of talent and character within this squad. We’re eager to carry that momentum forward, and every match in Midlands 1A will be an opportunity to prove ourselves against tougher opposition.

Stepping up to a higher division will be both a challenge and a rewarding experience. The competition in Midlands 1A is set to be fierce, but we will undoubtedly approach every game with the same determination and teamwork that brought us so much success last season. Our preseason preparations were intense, focusing on fitness, tactical sharpness, and developing a stronger sense of unity. Each player, from the newest additions to the seasoned veterans, has contributed immensely.

With the Kestrels representing the University in BUCS for the first time this year, we will be looking for both the Falcons and Kestrels to earn promotion, showcasing the depth of strength at the club. All players at the club will undoubtedly have one eye on Varsity, looking to earn a place in the Varsity squads, where we will be aiming to complete a clean sweep of Varsity victories.

As we continue this journey, we’re deeply grateful for the unwavering support from our alumni. Your encouragement pushes us to strive for excellence, and we can’t wait to make you proud again this season.
