They will be looking to improve their bottom half of the table position in the Kingsley Youth League from last season. They learnt a lot last season, and the coaches are in no doubt that the team can develop into challengers at the top of the division.
Unfortunately, it is rare for Morwenstow’s youth teams to emulate the success of the senior teams. Quite simply there aren’t enough kids in the parish, at any particular age group, to sustain a challenge to our larger neighbours, primarily Bude and Holsworthy. Nevertheless, our excellent facilities, committed coaching staff and renowned community spirit, mean that we attract many children from neighbouring villages. Our philosophy is to provide a safe, healthy and friendly environment within which the children can play football and develop their skills. Winning is nice, and we do occasionally, but that is very much secondary to the kids enjoying themselves. We are proud to be an FA Charter Standard Club and fully endorse the FA’s Child Protection and Equality policies. Anyone wanting to find out more should phone the Youth Section Co-ordinator, Dave Salisbury, on 01288 331212, or contact him by e-mail on daveforce9{at}aol.com.
