So far so good for Brighouse Town's Development squad who have won every game in all competitions except one hard earned point away to bogey side Thackley.
Their next opponents Bradford RIASA have started well. RIASA is part of an academy that brings American students over to Leeds Beckett University to complete a degree and compete against football sides. They're usually well coached and organised but this year they've added an end product to the party as well this season and are getting results.

Town's manager Charlie Tolley must be confident, however, after a brilliant start under the leadership of 17 -year-old captain Mark Everingham. Definitely one for the future already having experienced first team football at sixteen-years-old last year. He is developing on track as a person, and a footballer and the staff are extremely happy.

Another to keep an eye on is young Louis Hepplestone at centre-half who has an excellent positional sense and decision making quality for a 17-year- old. Ethan Nixon, 16, is another hot prospect for the future. He plays on the wing or behind a striker and has been with the club 18 months and, although very raw, he is growing into this level of football very quickly.

With experienced players out on loan, namely Tim Wallace and Connah Judson both at Nostell MW , Ash Scully and Harry Stead looking for loan clubs and Tobias Rawcliffe and Cal Lewis playing elsewhere, this has given the younger players an opportunity to develop and learn the game.
The game is at 12:00pm on Saturday at Apperley Bridge, Woodhouse Grove School and will be streamed live via RIASA twitter page @1RIASA, which pleases Town's crocked Development coach Si Ward as he can now watch it whilst recovering from his double leg break!
