During the winter, the Cheshire Blades teams move their training sessions to astroturf and indoor facilities to cope with lighting and pitch conditions.

Soon they will be returning to their home training ground. So around this time of year lots of jobs will need doing to get the pitches and club house ready for the spring and summer months.

I am hoping to raise funds to cover some of the maintenance that will be required this year.

In order to raise this money I will be completing a 2.5 km swim at the end of February.
