Away from the first team there has been success at the club and we shouldn’t ignore that fact at all.
Of course, the year could have been better with the senior men’s side but with the U23 and U18 men’s teams doing well and, now this from the U16 girls’ outfit, there’s positivity at the club:

A fine run to the league crown saw them go unbeaten as they won all of their games and that is certainly something to be proud of.
Let’s take a look at the reaction to the news:
Done well playing on that meadow

The Verdict
A winning mentality is something all clubs need and if it can be spread across the different age groups and genders then that is brilliant.
A great achievement for the girls and hopefully other sides will follow suit next year in earning as many points and wins as possible.
Yes, even the men’s senior side…
