MANAGER Mel Aldis will miss Debenham Leisure Centre's big game against fellow promotion candidates Swaffham in the First Division of the Ridgeons League on Saturday.

He will be on one of his six annual trips to the south of France to coach 12 to 16-year-olds who are connected with top clubs Monaco and Nice.

“I normally travel on Sundays, but have to go a day early this time because of a meeting,” said Aldis.

He provides an English input and is joined by Dutch and Italian coaches, who work with their French counterparts.
