Chris West has been coaching Trimley Red Devils since 2001 and most of those players are still playing in the team today. The team has built up a great team spirit over the years with all parents willing to help out. With their support, we have been able to take part in carnivals, team holidays and last season the team went on a successful Easter Tour in Holland.
The team has been very successful in recent years, playing in the South Suffolk Youth League on Saturdays and the Ipswich & Suffolk Youth League on Sundays. Trimley Red Devils Under 13s are currently top of both Division 1 Leagues.
