The clubs U'13 & U'16 squads travelled to Manchester at the weekend to visit the famed Manchester City academy where our former player Timi Sobowale now plies his trade.
The trip included training sessions on Friday at the academy with Mark Adams and his City coaches.
Both teams played friendlies against Bury Grammar School on the Saturday morning. The 16s came out on top with a 4-1 win. The 13s played out a cracking game in blustery conditions but lost our 3-2. A game that had everything and could have gone either way. Evan O Mahony scored both our goals and while we hit the post twice through Niall and Bobby, Joe made three outstanding saves. All the boys contributed to a great performance. Many thanks to our hosts Bury Grammar School and for their hospitality and post match refreshments.
To round off a memorable weekend for all the players, coaches and parents they got to see Pep Guardiola's Manchester City team beat Watford 3-1 at the Ethiad Stadium to remain on top of the premier league.
