Right down to the wire!

U17 Resistors have just had one of their most successful seasons to date.  What a year it has been with all the disappointing news of Pandemic all over the world, it was great for the lads to take their minds off it and focus on the game we all love.

The season started and U17 resistors had a healthy talented squad and knew they could push on for success this season, new lads joined the team and the whole squad gelled in so well very quickly. Training sessions has been to a high standard and most if not all of the lads turned up for training week in week out, which helped lads to perform better collectively in the matches.

This season for Resistors has been a season of two halves, with the team starting the season playing really well and at times watching the lads play in possession was unbelievable, one touch football at pace and were a real attacking threat to most teams.

Resistors played their last game on 19th December and then the Pandemic struck again and the games got cancelled and the team did not play again until 3rd April.  From the restart resistors struggled at times to play with impact in games and had some disappointing results along the way but kept their belief and morale high in the squad.

It finally came down to the last game of the season with the team sitting second and needing to better the result than the team placed in third spot.  Whilst in the last game Resistors took an early lead the lads found it tough and with three minutes to go were trailing by a goal but a substitution in the 87th minute brought the equaliser. Resistors could have won it at the end. Come the final whistle and the game finishing an4-4 draw Resistors were not sure if we had done enough.  Later on in the day the team found out that the other result went in their favour and were all over the moon.

It has been a tremendous year, and we are so thankful for all the support from the Club, all the parents and the entire squad, without the depth in the squad this would not be possible.
 
The club would like to congratulate U17 Resistors players, coaches and parent for their success this season!
