A top-level test for a mixed group of our new and current boys yesterday against Reading’s Category 1 U16–U17s.

A narrow loss, but a really competitive game throughout, with the boys stepping up and matching a top Category 1 side in long spells.

A big thank you to Reading for hosting us at their excellent training ground. Great for Head Coach @bobbybowser8 to catch up with friends from his playing days.

Back to work next week ⚽️💪
