Pre season over!
It’s probably been our most active pre-season to date, and as coaches we’re absolutely over the moon with the squad and, most importantly, the effort, attitude and commitment every single player has put in throughout the summer.
Pre-season stats:
* 2 tournaments – 1 final & 1 win
* 7 friendlies
* A couple of fantastic wins against teams playing at a higher level than us
* A tremendous display against a fantastic Stockton Town side, showing just how much this group has developed and how well they can compete against quality opposition.
A massive thank you to all the coaches, players and teams who have helped make our pre-season such a brilliant one. We really appreciate everyone who welcomed us, provided great opposition and helped give the lads the challenges they needed to prepare for the season ahead.
We’d also like to say a huge thank you to the club and especially Kate Barwick for all the hard work behind the scenes, helping organise pitches, referees and everything else that goes into making pre-season happen. It’s hugely appreciated and doesn’t go unnoticed.
And of course, a massive thank you to all the parents, grandparents, brothers, sisters, aunties and uncles who have given up their time over the summer to get the lads to games, stand on the sidelines and support them.
Now it’s time to turn our attention to the season opener next week. The hard work starts all over again, and we’re incredibly excited to see what this group can achieve together!
Finally, we want to wish all the grassroots teams at Billingham Town the very best of luck for the upcoming season. Have a fantastic season, enjoy your football and make plenty of memories!
