Ones to watch This Week
On Sunday 25th January, 2 teams from the William Suttons Homes Chilterns League (North London and surrounds to you and me!) will be travelling to the North West to take on teams from Ince & Hindley Under 15s.
One game will be played at Ince as a curtain raiser to the Gilette National Youth League under 18s game between Ince & North London Stags and will kick off around 12.30/12.45.
Due to the unprecedented interest shown by the lads from the south, who are all pretty new to the game, a second match has been arranged to take place at Hindley, kicking off around 1pm.
The players are taken from 5 clubs in the William Suttons Homes Chilterns League who are looking for more experience (and someone new to play against!).
Please tyr and get along to support ALL the players in the venture, which hopefully may become an annual event. Since there are other North West teams in the NYL (Leigh Miners, Leigh East, Saddleworth), we can arrange for future years to play against different teams.
More info on the news page.
