Witton’s U21’s Development Squad face another tough challenge on Sunday afternoon when they travel to Stalybridge Celtic U21’s in a North West U21’s Development League Premier Division fixture.
Celtic currently sit third in the Premier Division table with a 100% record and have yet to concede a goal after three games, winning both their home fixtures 5-0 against AFC Knowley & beating St Helens Town 2-0 whilst also overcoming Chorley by the same score.
A young and inexperienced Witton side find themselves in the lower reaches of the table, having suffered three heavy defeats but, this is a learning process for them as they adapt to the level of football they currently find themselves at.
The lads continue to work hard and hopefully they can gain experience and with that, results will surely improve before too long. The commitment is there but when you are struggling, it appears that everything has a habit of going against you and all the team can do is to continue to battle for everything.
Kick off at Stockport Sports Village is 2pm.
