U8's at Chelsea!
23 Sep 2008
More Foresters players join the Premiership!
The Under 8's were once again asked to play against the Chelsea development centre team on Monday night. The two teams played 4x10 minute 6 a side matches. Each match saw the 10 Foresters players given equal match time. There were some fantastic football played by each team, with some nice passing play, individual skill and great team work in what turned out to be a very close set of matches. Both managers found it hard to contain their apprecation of the effort and skill shown by the players and agreed this should be something we do again very soon.
Congratulations to J.Philips who, on the back of a great performance, has been asked to attend training at the Chelsea development centre. Additionally Luca Nwanosike also in the U8's has been invited to train with Charlton.They now joins the list of 6 other Foresters players who over the last year have been given this great experience and shows how the strong links between Foresters and professional clubs are being formed.
My thanks goes out to all at the Chelsea development centre for their very kind hospitality.
