The squad started off the season, looking to build on the positive elements of their game from U12s as we welcomed 2 new players to the group. Pre season was excellent and by the time our FAW Academy Cup fixtures came around, we had a very positive start to the season.

This good form continued up to December time with a number of excellent performances. We took part in the FAW futsal tournament and finished a creditable 2nd out of 9.

Individually the lads have developed well throughout the U13 season and we are sure that this will ensure that at U14s and when playing 11 a side, they will collectively be a force in 23/24.

We have enjoyed successful Pro Club fixtures at home v Stoke City & away at Burnley, Manchester City and a festival at Crewe Alexandra FC.

These are a great group to coach. They are motivated to improve and develop their game, are well disciplined and genuinely enjoy training and matches. We are excited to be taking 18 players from this group forward to next season - Well done everyone.
