Under 17's - 'Misfits'
The Canvey Misfits were formed half way through the 2005/6 season. Originally called the Wildcats, they then discovered a girls netball team called the same and had to make the change (typical of this bunch!). With a mixture of players both experienced and completely new to the game, and players playing up a year, the numbers gradually grew.
Originally coached and managed by Kevin Cooper, he requested assistance and was grateful for the expertise of the successful former colts coach Richard 'Biff' Smith. The team were able to play a few games before the end of the season. During the off season they trained hard and looked forward to a full 2006/7 season.
Further assistance was offered in the form of 1st XV players Luke Smith, Darren Smith and Brett Smith. The combination of these guys, together with Kev and Biff, provided a great footing for an up and coming team. Yet further assistance was offered by Jackie Lanza in dealing with the admin side. Many thanks to all these people for their efforts and dedication.
We are always looking for more players. Every player who turns up for training and puts the effort in gets to play. We are not 'a must win at all costs' team, we are about continuous improvement (winning is an added bonus!). If you are interested in playing for the Wildcats, come along to a training session or call Kevin Cooper (07747 480 275).
