He told us , “ The mood is fantastic at the club at the moment , our first season back in the Isthmian Premier division has been an exciting one . We finished 10th in the league and reached the last 32 of the FA Trophy only to be knocked out by National side York City , who have gone on to reach this year ’ s final .”
2017
“ We are now starting to build for next season . We are also looking to build on the success of our ladies side who won the Essex County Women ’ s Football League Premier Division title this season and also increase the youth side of the game .”
Youth
“ Youth development is very important at this level of football ; we have around twenty youth sides ranging from Under 7s to under 16s with all teams featuring local boys and girls .
We are always looking to bring the children through the youth set up and eventually into the Development side and First team .” www . footballfocusmag . com 59
