    What a great match ,wrong result ,but very entertaining . It was very unfortunate that the under 18s had to step into the breach to play . The young boy at left back was the best player on the pitch .What a star in the making. He was relentless all match and is another Billy Bremner in the making and will go far He certainly needs nurturing for the future.
    i will certainly continue going to more matches to see this team and the under 19s play.

    Alan the player your refering to is Jason Swannack, he's a really classy young lad and your right he's a star in the making.

    He's recently made the step up to the U19s team and is doing a cracking job for us, great work ethic, great attitude a real pleasure to work with.

    The youth cup is an Under 18s competition so sadly most of the 19s lads can't play in it, the goalscorer Josh and Michael (number 9) are also playing with us in the 19s as well.

    Its great that you were entertained and we look forward to seeing you down at Cannon Park for the home games this year,we'll try to keep the standards high thanks very much for your support. Overwhelming how many people turned out last night can't thank you all enough.
