Southbank are to send an elite squad to the National Sports Centre at Lilleshall for some intensive pre-season training under the guidance of two former England internationals.

The opportunity comes as a result of The 'Bank winning a competition run by Kaliber, the non-alcoholic lager (yes proof of purchase was required but we won't divulge who drinks the stuff - certainly not Karl!). The prize will see 12 Southbank players spend an evening in a Telford hotel "preparing" for their days training. The squad will then be picked up and taken in luxury onboard the official England team coach to Lilleshall. Once there they'll spend the morning being coached by 2 England internationals before an afternoon tournament against 3 fellow prize winning clubs.

Southbank will also feature in The Sunday People as well as receiving a brand new kit.

More details will follow and a full report on the trip will appear here in August.
