League Wrap Up: 2012 Youth Team
What a brilliant season it has been for our 2012 Youths. After winning the 'D' League last year, the jump up to the ADJFA Under 14s 'C' League was always going to be a challenge. The players have risen to it magnificently, finishing the league season in a very strong position and proving they can compete at this level. It has been a year defined by hard work, growth and some fantastic football.
Beyond the results on the pitch, this year has been about the community we are building. The PARENTS vs PLAYERS match was a particular highlight, providing plenty of laughs and perhaps a few sore muscles the next morning!
It was also lovely to hear feedback from one of our parents recently who mentioned how much she enjoyed simply watching a training session. She noted how clear it was that every single player was having a brilliant time, which is exactly what youth football should be about.
⭐️"Earn the Jersey" Standards⭐️
As we moved toward the end of the season, we introduced our new JERSEY STANDARDS. More than just a kit, these standards define what it means to represent this team. Built on the pillars of Respect, Passion, Determination, Positivity, Inclusion and Teamwork, they work towards aligning with SYFA guidance and aims to promote an inclusive culture.
We represent more than ourselves; we represent each other. These values will be at the heart of our approach for the 2026/2027 season.
⚽️The Big Date in the Diary⚽️
The hard work is not over yet. We have one massive fixture remaining:
⭐️24th May, C League Cup Final
⭐️2012 Youths vs Cove Youth
⭐️Location: Strichen, Home ground of Mormond Thistle
Cove have had a strong league run, so let’s get as much support there as possible to cheer the team on as they look to cap off this successful campaign with silverware.
We will be wrapping everything up with the social highlight of the season: our Team Awards Night (date TBC). It will be a fantastic opportunity to celebrate every player’s contribution to this brilliant year.
Massive thank you to our sponsors Hamish Dear's Warm Hugs. Please check out this amazing charity and the incredible impact they have.
