Preparing for the season ahead

A lot seems to have happened since the last posting. We've now formed two teams - the Under 8's A team coached by Simon & John & the B team coached by Jez. We finally ended up with 21 players who were keen to play, so there are 11 in the A squad & 10 in the B squad.


We continued training over the summer as everyone was keen to keep playing. Most of the summer sessions were matches rather than training. The highlight (?) of the sessions was usually the Lads versus Dads (& Mums) match - which often consisted of 18-20 lads against 4 or 5 Dads & Mums. Despite what the lads might tell you, the Dads didn't play too badly - & the Mums were even better!!


The finale of each session was always a penalty shoot-out when the lads would take penalties against one of the Dads - & the Dads would take penalties against ALL the lads (yes, all in goal at the same time!!) Needless to say who won those................................


So, as school & proper football training started again in September, we prepared for the season ahead. Both the A & B teams were placed in Division 3 of the Hull Boys Sunday Football League & received details of the fixtures, starting on 19th September & ending in November.


The A teams first match was away at Elloughton Stirlings in Brough on Sunday 19th September - & we couldn't wait to get started...........
