With Nick Ballinger returning to the managerial helm Town Youth are preparing to kick off their new campaign in the MFYL Southern Premier Division next Thursday (August 22nd) with an away match at Hereford.

Town memorably surged to the Championship last season winning the title by a whopping 13 point margin from runners-up Worcester City, but a number of those players are no longer eligible for Youth team (Under 18’s) football and it will be a new look squad which will be looking to follow up that success this time round.

The only change in the make-up of the Division sees Solihull Moors replace Lye Town who finished bottom last season and have been relegated to the (lower) Southern Division.

After the Hereford game Town are at home to Evesham United the following Thursday (August 29th) before they travel to face Bromyard Town in the Preliminary Round of the F A Youth Cup the week after.
