TRAFFORD MV have started their pre-season training at MacPherson Park under their new leadership team of head coach Richard Phillips and club captain Andy Quigley.

Attendance has been good and sessions have been hard and varied with plenty of ball-in-hand fitness work being done, as well as measured performance workouts.

MV will host Llandudno RFC in a pre-season friendly in mid-August, while the first competitive fixture of the season sees Trafford drawn at home in the Brian Leigh Lancashire Trophy against old adversaries Oldham.

Coaching sessions at Trafford MV are held every Tuesday and Thursday at 6.45pm and anyone interested in joining the club should get in touch with Greg Hawkins on 07834 857905.
