PLANS are afoot to start running a special needs team for players in the Harwich area.

Harwich Bumble Bees, as they will be known, have already been given permission to play matches at Harwich and Parkeston’s Royal Oak ground.

Now they are on the look-out for players, in addition to someone willing to run and coach the side.

Both male and female players with special needs are welcome to get involved, from the age of 17 upwards.

The plan is to eventually enter a league and they hope to start running training sessions from the end of this month.
