U18 Allied Counties Youth Team Update
20 Aug 2026
We are fast approaching the official start of the season for our U18 Allied Counties Youth Team, and the team management of Callum Carlisle, Mark Lowes and Leigh Keddle have had a very busy summer building a squad for the new season.
Three pre-season friendlies have taken place and the group are coming together really nicely if the last result is anything to go by.
All of their home fixtures take place on a Monday night and I would remind all current season ticket holders who attend the senior games that the Youth Team games are included in that deal.
The Allied Counties League is a very competitive competition and I can assure you that the entertainment on offer is well worth a visit.
Come along and support what we hope will be the future of the football club. Lots of these youngsters will have progressed through the junior ranks of our youth section to get to where they are today.
Fixture details are on the Youth Team web page. We are very confident that you will not be disappointed.
