The heat is on for Nantwich Town players as they begin pre-season training this week in scorching temperatures, writes Jonathan White.

Dave Cooke’s squad is shaping up nicely ahead of the 2018-19 season, with pre-season training kicking off last Saturday.

Fitness coach Jay Bateman put the players through their paces on the Malbank School and Sixth Form College sports field, next to the Weaver Stadium.

Training took place under the watchful eye of Cooke, assistant manager Danny Griggs and coach Nigel Deeley.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
