Preview: Youth Team - Lincoln

This season can only be described as starting slowly, with only a single league win in the first five games, leaving the young ‘Pies third from bottom of their division.

Then followed an amazing turnaround.  With a few positional tweaks by their coach Dan Leivers the team went on a fantastic run winning nine of their next ten games in all competitions, including six consecutive league wins, which has taken them to the top of their league.

This successful run was also achieved with a very young team, with, on average, only three second year scholars being selected, the team being made up with mainly first year scholars and a few cameo appearances from lads in the under 16s – which augers well for the future.

Tomorrow, in their final league game before their Christmas break, (resuming on 9^th January) the young ‘Pies face a trip to Lincoln with their opposition only a point behind them in the table – so a tough game in prospect as they try to keep their outstanding run going.
