Team Mendip girls have linked up with Strikeback Gym to help fitness for the new season.

TEAM Mendip gained promotion season with a second place finish in Somerset Ladies League in only their second season.

This has allowed them to enter a reserve team into the league and as a result, competition for a place in the first team has now increased.
