James Branwood from our COXA Vets, has now taken over the COXA 1st team managers position for the 24/25 season. Along with Dom Taggart remaining as club captain, this is a step to rebuild the first team and help take the club in the right direction.

Separately, COXA 1st XI kicked off their pre-season in the local Raynes Park tournament with a 6-1 win against CASA Benfica last weekend.

Harty started his pre-season with a superbly taken hat-rick. Louis Softley opened his account for the club with another, and Andre and Kieron also chipped in with a goal apiece.

The 1st's will be back in action on Wednesday 24th July against CP Dons with their 2nd game in the pre-season tournament.
