Academy Angle Vs Altrincham (22.8.26)
Good afternoon, everyone, and welcome back to the Jakemans Community Stadium for the early KO this afternoon!
Academy Games
It has been a busy and exciting pre-season for our players, with a fantastic range of fixtures against Hull City, Grimsby Town and York City Development.
We have also been delighted to see our players challenging themselves by playing up with other age groups. Several of our U12 ETP players have also had the opportunity to train and play alongside our U13 Academy squad, which is a brilliant experience for their development and a great reflection of the opportunities within our club. Thanks to all of the teams who have hosted us and travelled across to The JCS, we wish you all the very best for the upcoming season.
Our pre-season campaign isn’t finished yet, with fixtures still to come against King’s Lynn Town and Norwich City. Our U13s will also be travelling to Liverpool next weekend, providing another fantastic test for the squad.
We are incredibly proud of how our players are preparing for the new season and the progress they are continuing to make both individually and as teams. There is a real sense of excitement around the club as we look ahead to the season getting underway.
We can’t wait to see our players back in competitive action and representing the club in the JPL Cup during the first week of September.
Good luck to all our teams for the remainder of pre-season — keep working hard, keep developing and, most importantly, enjoy your football!
