Under 19 - Team News

Walker nets the hat trick

This time without even hitting the net.

Tomorrow afternoon when the Badgers take to the pitch at Cannon Park, Luke Walker will make a hat trick of U19s who have graduated to the 1st team squad in the first month of the new season.

Luke joins Bobby Johnson and Reece Thompson in having impressed Rich Sennett enough to earn a crack with the senior team, and added to Ben Parlby and Shaun Nesbitt he becomes the 5th player to have appeared on the team sheet for both the First and U19s teams this season.

Everyone connected with the U19s wishes Luke all the best tomorrow and as with the other two enjoy yourself and make us proud.

It's another testament to the amount of talent we have at U19s level this year and a massive amount of credit goes to Rich Sennett and Mark Turner for looking at what we have here at the club rather than going out to sign players. Bobby has made a massive impact and we are hopeful that Luke and Reece can do the same when their time comes.

Well done to all the lads, Here's hoping for a good result tomorrow and Up the Badgers.

Rich
