To the young players, don't be afraid to drop a level or two. If you are good enough, you'll go back up if you are playing well and enjoying it. Go for minutes not money.
Big thanks to @WRAFC1stTeam and @OfficialDHFC for giving @Liam_sheppard9 the chance

β½οΈ Help Us Build a Better Home for @ACFC1916 Juniors! β½οΈ
βAs many of you know, Bee Fold Lane is a huge part of my family's lifeβboth of my lads play for the Atherton Collieries U21s, and I see firsthand how much this club does for the young people in our town.
βThis summer, the Juniors' home is undergoing a massive overhaul to upgrade our facilities. To get this project over the line and give our players the setup they deserve, Iβm raising funds as part of my support for three vital local community projects.
β"The Colls" has been going since 1916, and with your help, we can make sure the next generationβfrom the U6s all the way up to the U21sβhas a pitch and facility they can be proud of.
βCan you help us reach our goal?
Every donation, no matter how small, goes directly toward improving the environment where our kids learn teamwork, respect, and a love for the game.
βπ Donate via Crowdfunder here: crowdfunder.co.uk/p/qr/QWwqgβ¦
βPlease Like and Share to help us spread the word across Atherton and Wigan!
