WELCOME FROM THE SENIOR SECTION TO SEASON 2011/2012

Further to the welcome from the Football Club as a whole, the Senior Section extends its own welcome to
Season 2011/2012.

The First Team will be competing in Division 1 West of the Hellenic League whilst the Second Team will continue to compete in Division 2 (West) of the same League. It is expected that, as occurred not infrequently last season, heavy reliance will be placed upon many of the young players emerging from the U18's and Junior Section of the club.
Indeed, at a time when economic recession is likely to adversely affect the finances of most, if not all clubs at this level of football, our increasing reliance on ‘home grown’ players will undoubtedly be most helpful in more respects than one.
Having said that, there is little doubt that the coming season will prove to be a challenging one, both on and off the field of play.

the addition of Keith Willis, Keith Wise and

Reserve Team Manager Layi Olubaji

Continuity at management level within the Senior Section is provided by Layi Olubaji,  remaining in post as Manager  of our Second Team.
Layi is totally committed to the club and uses his experience to help his young team improve.
He even plays every now and then. 
Layi and his ever-willingness to liaise and co-operate with the First Team management is greatly appreciated by the Senior Section as a whole.

We are also fortunate enough to have a very good and thriving under 18s Team.
