"Dear all just to add to the fixtures for pre season from the Reserve Squad angle.

Its been a very busy pre season fixing up what is a very cometitive and challenging series of games, that should help both myself and aspy make a good assement of what we will hopefully aim to recuit and work with, so we can prepare them for bigger and better things and help the club develop its future first team players.

We kick off with an away trip to play Darwen FC from NWC 2 on the 15th July before finishing off with a home game against Bronte Wanderers of the West Riding County League.

Full programme as follows:

Tue 15th July: Darwen FC (a) 7.30pm NWCFL 2
Sat 19th July: Fullwood Ams (a) 3.00pm WLFL Prem
Wed 23rd July: Turton (a) 7.00pm WLFL Prem
Sat 26th July: Holker Old Boys (a) 3.00pm NWCFL 2
Wed 30th July: Prescot Cables Res (h) 7.30pm West Cheshire Prem
Sat 2nd Aug: Brodsworth Miners Welfare (a) 3.00pm NCEFL Prem
Tue 5th Aug: Burnley United (Venue TBC) 7.00pm
Wed 13th Aug: Bronte Wanderers 7.30pm WRCFL 1


We have arranged some games on days when the first team are not playing, so please feel free to come and have a look.

Finally its great for me and Martin to be back and I would just like to thank all for their support so far especially the committee and in particular Carl, Neil, Pete and Colin W.

Lets hope we can contribute to the clubs success and possible promotion this season to the Unibond Prem !!!!

Lee and Martin

--------------------------------
Clitheroe FC have announced that they will have a Reserve Team for the 2008/09 season. An application has been made to join the Lancashire League and the team will be managed by former Reserve team boss Lee Boyer.


Speaking to the Clitheroe Advertiser & Times, this is what Blues chairman Carl Garner said -

"We've made a formal application to the Lancashire League, and we're cracking on with that, with the emphasis being on recruiting promising young players, with a view to becoming potential first team players of the future by giving young players of East Lancashire every opportunity to join the club. The UniBond league has gone to five substitutes next season, of which you can choose three, to fall in line with other leagues. It increases the opportunity to feed youngsters into the first team set up. Lee will manage the team, and it will be run as close to the first team as possible with Neil and Pete. Lee has already identified players he wants in the team, but I'm sure there will be opportunities before next season to join."

Blues joint first team manager Neil Reynolds added -"Every club has a reserve team, and we've lost players due to the unavailability of games, and we don't want to be lending out players to every club, particularly lads coming back from injury. It's a big plus as Lee knows the club, and his track record speaks for itself, both with the team and getting involved with the social side of the club."
