Hutton under 11s...

We are moving up to 11 a side this season and we have a fantastic squad equipped for life on the big pitch. The guys have all developed over their previous seasons and play attractive, passing football. They are encouraged to express themselves on the pitch but also work exceptionally hard without the ball and for each other.

The Under 11's have been a fantastic side since their formation at Under 7's. They have reached finals, and won several tournaments all around the South West. They won the North Somerset Mini League in their first season and they got to the Knock Out cup final in their second.

The squad was rebuilt after the 2009-2010 season after a number of players moved on to form a new club, and we have had to rebuild a little but this has brought the boys together and formed a special loyalty and team ethic rarely found in my experience.

Unfortunately we have had to lose some players due to the move from 7 a side to 11 a side and to other teams. I would personally like to thank all of them for their service over the past few seasons: Brett Adlam, Liam Bailey, Harry Harman, Joe Ham, Ryan Young, Alex Harvey and Yanni Siangolis were great last season and we wish them all the best in the future.

We welcome North Somereset striker Oli Wilcox to the squad to replace Liam, who has left to join another club. Oli is a fantastic little player with great feet and an eye for goal. We are sure he will be a welcome addition.

Our new coaching team includes Tim Murphy, who is concentrating on general coaching and fitness and Ian Baxter, who will be dealing with technical aspects including one on one and small group coaching.

Good luck for the new season boys!

Tim and Bri
