Sleights met up and trained in small groups, on Saturday, in line with government advice.

They kept 2 metres apart as joint-manager Jordan Jackson-Bailey put the lads through their paces, assisted by co-boss Ed Turner and skipper Charlie Smith.

The UK Government and The Football Association have yet to announce a return date for grassroots football, but that and the June rain failed to dampen spirits.

The socially-distanced training should keep the squad in good shape ahead of pre-season, whenever that may be.
