The Juniors had a disastrous morning last Saturday, losing by six goals to one against Orient Juniors at Spring Hill. We have two home games remaining "in the qualifying tournament - against Orient and Chelsea Juniors - and it looks as if our youngsters need at least two points from these if they are to qualify for the semi-final play-offs.

A 0-4 home defeat by Chelsea Juniors virtually ended our under-17's chance of qualifying for the semi-final play-offs, but as the opposition remains undefeated this season the comparative strengths were always apparent.
