We have welcomed many new faces to the team. Looking forward to new season!

Fantastic performance at Ashcombe tournament for Reading Aces

Finally after a 3 year pause Reading Aces have returned to Ashcombe grass tournament taking place on the 26th of June. And this year we have our biggest representation ever: 1 NVL ladies team and 3 men teams.
