Manager Mark Gadsby has a wealth of riches to select from with 30 plus prospective,s attending virtually every trial including a vast number of county representative players, and players with vast academy experience from other professional clubs. Tomorrow the process begins of dropping this down to 20 players for the season who will be selected to join our scholarship program. Whilst the Sat Under 16s will be completing in the Notts youth league, this is just part of the story. With our alliance with Central College this group of players will be integrated into the potential academy for next season, and so thus play numerous midweek games against the best local academy sides in the area including professional outfits.

All the best Mark and for the lads very very exciting times to be part of the Basford Academy program.
