We have our first-ever Youth Star of the Week. And the winner is...

WE HAVE the first winner of our Youth Star of the Week competition – Flitch U9s Midfield maestro JACOB MORGAN.

Jacob was nominated by Flitch Youth club senior member Andrew Askew for his performance on Sunday morning against a strong and spirited Galleywood side.

Mr Askew said: “In the match against Galleywood Jacob pulled the strings from midfield and orchestrated a very solid win.

“His great vision and passing creating chance after chance for his team mates and he was the creator of all four goals.

“Comfortable dribbling and passing with both feet Jacob is always unselfish, doing everything he can for the team. He always works hard in training where he has a very mature attitude and this is really starting to show in his recent performances.”
