VICTORIA COLTS COME ON BOARD WITH CAMMELL LAIRDS

Cammell Lairds have announced the formation of a youth team in conjunction with Victoria Colts. The team, which will play in the West Cheshire Youth League, will be spearheaded by management team Sean Byrne, Gary Head and Steve Major and it is hoped they will experience the successes enjoyed by the first team of the Unibond League newcomers.
Club Secretary Paul Mcloughlin said; "This is another great landmark for Lairds, we are in discussions with the Football Association to gain Charter Standard status, an essential part of this is community activity. The development of youth football with Victoria Colts will be invaluable as we develop the club infrastructure to keep up with the successes the first team boys have been achieving."

He continued..

"Victoria Colts are one of the best known junior football clubs in the area, their aim is to provide a pathway for potential Beckhams and Gerrards to play and learn football with the underlying enjoyment being an essential part of the process. This new partnership means that it doesn't end at 18, if a player is good enough they could find themselves playing semi professional football for the first team of Cammell Laird Football Club."
Cammell Laird Youth manager Sean Byrne said "We've had a frustrating situation in the past where good players have reached our age limit and been picked off by other clubs out of the Wirral area, to be part of Lairds means that there is no dead end in the pathway and we are looking forward to seeing one of our boys playing locally at a senior level wearing the Camel on their shirt"
