Our U18s begin their PDL campaign with a home clash against Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday afternoon.
The fixture will take place on August 9th, with a kick-off time of 2pm.
PRE-MATCH | TOM HUTTON
Ahead of Saturday's fixture, Tom Hutton said: "Preparations have gone really well for us this summer. We had the First Year Scholars come in, so for the first few weeks, it was about implementing the behaviours that we expect both on and off the pitch. There's a real understanding of that and we're seeing that on the training pitch and around the building. As a group, we've been really pleased with the way that they've started.
"Pre-season is an important time, not only to implement those behaviours, but also the tactical ideas that you want to bring to the game. We've had opportunities to practise that, but on Saturday, it becomes more real. It's in the league and there's more pressure on it, but the focus is always the same for us, which is on the performance. We know that if we stick to that, it will bring results. The boys go into the game excited and it's a challenge that we're looking forward to."
PRE-MATCH | HARRY WATTS
Midfielder Harry Watts added: "I think we've done well in pre-season, everyone has shown what they can do. We've all been as competitive as we can and have been fighting for our positions. Morale has been good and we're all well up for Saturday.
"I'm really excited, because I missed a lot of last season. I'm looking forward to it and I'm sure the boys are as well. We're expecting them to be a hard test for us. They'll be big, physical and direct, but we'll be prepared for that challenge. The way that we want to play, we've been practising it all summer and we're ready to go."
