The club would like to wish all those involved this weekend the best of luck. Bring that trophy back to London for another year lads!!!

WEEKEND OFF

The London Skolars NL2 side have their first weekend off since February 1st and is being well received by the players and coaches. The weekend off gives the Skolars the chance to rest a number of players with niggling injuries after a very heavy schedule in the last three months. Training this week has been intense with some good old fashioned fitness drills and plenty of work on defence. "The week off should freshen up the players and re-focus them for the rest of the season" joint coach Alex Smits said.
