Manager Glyn Tribe said: This team has had a difficult couple of years.

The new players that have joined the existing team, most of which have been together since U7 have had to learn extremely quickly and in difficult circumstances, which has made what they achieved this season incredible. Myself, Shaun and Wade are extremely proud of every single one of them; they are a fantastic bunch of youth footballers who deserve the success they have achieved this season.
