Under 13's White
2006 - 2007
I would firstly like to thank all the players who, to the whites this season, had the faith to stay with us when it looked bad especially Joe Priestley and Ryan Harrison who hung on from last season.
Having said that what a season of ups and downs. September just enough for a team, October we finally start to play league games and our new team suffer defeats every week. November a bad month with a massive defeat away to the future champions making players wonder if it would ever improve, but it did.
The players kept trying and December we won a cup match which was like winning the league, we also only lost 6-0 to the future champions a brilliant turn around in four weeks. Christmas came and went and the results got in to single figures but still the team kept improving.
Then on sunny day in February at Bingham it clicked and the dream turned into reality, a brilliant first forty minutes left sports 4-0 up yes four, and despite nearly throwing it away we hung on for our first league win at 4-3.
We then we three games without defeat collecting a win and a draw. Gone were the heavy defeats, we lost by silly odd goals but this team has performed miracles over the season and if they can keep it up next season who knows.
