Seen in the photograph from left to right are Mark McPeake, Kyran Maguire, Matty Cooper, Wayne Mabbott, Jack Grummitt and Chris Gray celebrating their win on 3 June 2025. Captain, Wayne Mabbott reports:
Very solid win for the I's vs David Lloyd Sunderland, prevailing 10-2, in what was likely a first, whereby the first round of matches were played outdoors and then the remaining matches played indoors, so vastly contrasting conditions ! However did not effect the outcome of the match. Really good to back up winning the opening match vs Jesmond back in May and 2 away wins is a hugely different start to the season vs last.
Buoyed by the addition of the hard hitting Kyran Maguire to the team, partnering with long standing club "legend" Mark McPeake, forming a formidable first pairing, with Jack and Chris G continuing their form from last season and with Matty Cooper getting even faster and enabling Wayne to go a little easier on his ageing legs !! With some strong players waiting in the wings and also ready to play up from the 2nd's, a much healthier position to be in so far this season
