IT boffins Cam (Timber) Robinson and Steve Woods along with club members Janine Tate and Colleen Bentley have been working on the huge task of putting the playing record of every person who has ever played for the club into a database.
Given the club was formed in 1956 and are now a club of over 1,000 members I am sure you can understand the size of this task.
The database is live with over 3,500 players and is receiving weekly updates from TeamStar on active players. Historical games milestones and awards dating back to 1980 having been extracted from yearbooks and are being imported – now the team need your help with the next phase of the project!
There are two ways in which you can help:
1. If you spot a player (yourself or someone you know) that is missing completely (or has low/zero games count), please use the following form to provide us with the details:

2. We want to capture every player listed in every yearbook by team (which is a massive task) so we are looking to Crowdsource it! If you can assist with extracting details from a single yearbook (or even part of a single yearbook), please use the following form to register and the team will be in touch:
