The Ravens under 8s football team have had a solid season so far, transitioning from the MYSL league at U7s to the Salford league for the U8s season. Despite the change, the team adapted well and showed progress on the field. This progress has been rewarded with a great run in the cup seeing the Ravens into a cup final later on in May.

Throughout the season, the Ravens improved their skills and worked together as a team, building on the friendships they've formed on and off the field. As they look ahead to moving from 5-a-side to 7-a-side at under 9s next season, the team is preparing for the challenge with enthusiasm.

Both myself and Nathan are excited about the team's growth and progress and look forward to seeing the boys develop further as they move to 7-a-side.

Overall, it's been a great season so far for the Ravens, and both the lads and their parents have shown fantastic support and dedication throughout the season.

As coach I would like to thank Trafford Contractors for their support in the form of sponsorship for the last 2 seasons as we move forward with 2 new sponsors for the upcoming seasons. Only sweets and treats and Whites Joinery will feature on the new kits.

Here's to more success and growth in the seasons to come.
