Given that half of the team are a year younger than most of their opponents, they struggled last season in the strong North Devon Youth League. However, next season they will be training with the senior players. We are hoping that will improve both their skills and their fitness levels, so that we will see a tangible improvement in performance.
Unfortunately, it is rare for Morwenstow youth teams to emulate the success of the senior teams. Quite simply there are not 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.
