"Please pass on my thanks to Dowse and the players, it was a great experience for the boys and can only further improve relations with the senior end of the club"

- Philip John - Under 18's Manager

Adam Rutherford, Charlie John and Dunnell King were invited to train with the first team by Alan Dowson and Martin Tyler.

Watched on by manager Philip John the boys did well and enjoyed the session.

After the session Phil commented "Both Alan and Martin were great with the boys ( as were all the players who made them feel at ease right from the start). They held their own and were not phased at all, I was very proud of them. Dows sent me a text late last night saying that they had done well and offering to repeat the experience later in the season."
