After last year’s success as Sheffield District’s Junior Sunday League champions, the Under 10s are once again holding their own.
“Everybody is pleased with the performance of the players this season,” said Patrick Blake, Manager of Burngreave Under 10s. Currently joint 5th in Division A (played: 10 – won: 5, drwn: 3 drawn, lost: 2), standards are high, with the boys against the top players.
It has been a lot harder than last year but the lads are dedicated and committed. “They know they’re good, and they know everyone’s talking about Burngreave,” said Patrick. Seven of the players are training at the Sheffield United Academy Development Centre.
The team have also been invited to a national tournament in Mablethorpe next year and there are hopes to take the boys abroad.
