Two seasons ago the club did not have enough players to field an under 12s side. This year, after a recruitment push at local schools and a steady increase in numbers at training, the team played its first full season in the main junior league.
Results were mixed, as expected for a squad with several players new to competitive football, but the coaching team focused on development rather than the table, rotating positions and giving every player regular game time across the season.
By the final few matches the improvement was obvious, with the team picking up wins against sides who had beaten them comfortably earlier in the year. Several players have already said they want to try out for representative selection next season.
