Four meetings into pre-season and just one side remain unbeaten. Draws in both their away fixtures, coupled with double figure wins at home against Hale and Beverley will be considered job well done for Coalville promoter Alan Fellows and their fans alike. SL32 could just be their season. They begin their eighth successive year in the top flight still looking for their first trophy in their current tenure at the highest level, signs are they’ll be amongst those fighting for silverware. At 30 Travis Foxman looks better than ever, a one-club man, the American has been with the Kings since he was 16 and an ever-present for them for the past decade, riding in 360 successive league meetings in that time. The current world number five begins the season with a GSA of 8.50, he’s averaging 10.32 in the prelims and looks set to take over from Daniel Wallar as the club’s number one in the early part of the campaign. He’ll offer plenty of experience and leadership to the side, but it’s their strength in depth that could be the Kings trump card, the ability to score points throughout is certainly there. The excitement will be provided at second string and reserve by Scandinavian teens Sebastien Overby and Stig Amudsen respectively, who both could be anything. Overby cost the club just £41,000, however in less than two years he’s become a fans favourite, with over a 1000 going to Wimbledon last year to witness him win the WU19 Championship. Insiders at the club say they expect Amundsen—at 18 a year younger than Overby—to be even better, the potential there to see for all in pre-season, with the Norwegian averaging 8.00 in the warm-ups to date.
