We’ve caught up with Chris Graydon this week, who alongside Jonathan Mckee and Craig Loftus, run the u9 boys and have done since their formation as our u7's.

Chris, who joined the club in 2015, is also a player in the successful Vet’s side!

“(I’ve been) coaching since under 7’s; I got pushed into the role by the wife! But, seeing the kids enjoy themselves every week at training and game day is why I do it. That, and the friendships gained by the boys and also parents!”

Here’s what he had to say on…

the focus of the team…
Ensuring the work we do at training, we take into the games on a match day. The focus is always on the boys to express themselves, communicate and play to their strengths!

recent successes…
We entered 5 tournaments last year, won 3 got to the final in 1, and semi in other. It’s always nice to hear comments from other parents saying we play football to a high level.
The Brymbo coach (who we beat in a recent final) said we were the best team they have played in a long time.

and finally…
A special thanks to the parents who assist with match day preparations.
Thanks to sponsors Leigh Newell at Cultura Del Terrazzo for match day kit and Laura Graydon at Lotus Business services for training kit.
