Witton’s U21’s Development Squad open their league campaign on Sunday afternoon, when they travel to Widnes-based St Michael’s D.H.F.C in a North West U21 Development League Premier Division fixture. Now under the guidance of new Head Coach Neil Murray and with a number of fresh faces on the playing front, the team have had what can only be described as a difficult pre season. Performances have been patchy but the team have worked hard although the results haven’t materialised so far. The pre season programme has seen a number of younger players trying to impress and at times they have but, it’s been a learning curve for them due to their age and inexperience. Progress can only come by playing together and establishing an understanding and hopefully that will come in the weeks ahead. The opening fixture will give an indication of their progress but it will take time for the lads to gain that understanding and start to produce results. Kick off at St Michael’s Parish Centre is 2pm.
