Despite the hot weather, the attitude and effort from every player was outstanding. It was fantastic to see so many smiling faces back on the pitches, working hard, supporting their teammates, and enjoying being back together.

A huge thank you to all of our coaches, volunteers and parents for helping make the return to training such a success.

Just the one Pre-Season game for our U11 Boys this weekend saw them run out 8-2 winners over Colchester Villa, well done lads!

This will be a new weekly segment on socials and our website so make sure to check back every Tuesday for all Youth Section related news.

We're excited for the season ahead and can't wait to see what our young players achieve. Welcome back, everyone – here's to another fantastic year in yellow and blue!
