There have been many changes across the club in the past 12 months. Players have come and gone. So, too, have managers. There is even a different chairman familiarising himself with the territory. And now there is a new voice behind the microphone guiding supporters through games.

After the long-serving Mikey Burrows stepped down from his position as the club commentator at the end of last season, Matt Ponter was the natural successor and agreed to take up the position after previously spending three years with Wolves Women.

His route to the commentary box has not been straightforward, though, and he has shown an impressive resilience to get to the position he is in today.
