Over the weekend we hosted Manchester United’s RTC at Repton School as they took on our Under 14s and Under 16s.

The two sides put in fantastic performances despite losing 6-0 and 3-1 respectively. The games represented their biggest test of the season so far and the players applied themselves and showed progression from the start of the season.

Female Football Lead, Sophie Tudor said: “It was a great occasion for the girls to take on a side like Manchester United. We’re also really grateful to Repton School for allowing us to use their facilities and hosting both games.

“I got the pleasure of coaching the Under 14s and couldn’t be prouder of them. They worked so hard during the game and did everything I asked of them. They showed everything we have been working on in training and have improved in all aspects of their games this season. From talking to the other coaches, the Under 16s received the same feedback they gave everything and did what was asked of them to a high standard. We genuinely can’t ask for anymore than that and every single player delivered.

“The groups are heading in the right direction and it’s an exciting time for them. We’ll keep working hard between now and the end of the season and the development will be there for everyone to see.”
