Godmanchester Rovers
FOOTBALL CLUB
G
odmanchester Rovers FC is based on Bearscroft Lane in Huntingdon
and their first team currently competes in the Premier Division of
the Thurlow Nunn League. They are a fine example of a club playing an
important role in their local community.
Their first team has enjoyed a superb campaign so
far this season, putting together a record of twenty-one
wins, nine draws and seven defeats from their thirty-
seven matches played. This sees them sitting near the
top of the table with seventy-two points on the board.
This should provide them with the perfect platform
from which to build as they head into the off-season.
As long as they are able to retain their current group
of players and can perhaps make one or two quality
additions they should be well set up for a successful
future.
Godmanchester Rovers FC is not a club to focus
solely upon their senior section however and this is
reflected by the fact that they also run an U18s side.
This team looks to provide young players from the local
community with an opportunity to play the game in a
safe and enjoyable environment while helping them to
reach their full potential.
It is important for any club looking to be successful
over a sustained period of time to be able to produce
their own talent and this is an area they appear to have
covered. It will certainly be exciting to see how their
youngsters can progress in the coming years.
In order to help make sure that they enjoy a smooth
transition into the senior game they also run a reserve
side. This allows them to gain experience of adult level
football even if they are not yet considered ready for
first team action which can be an important step in the
development process.
Another benefit of having an extra side is that it
allows the first XI to benefit from far greater strength
in depth. If they are ever left short on numbers through
injury or suspension they have the option of calling up
replacements with a limited amount of disruption.
Godmanchester Rovers fine season is a just reward
for all of the hard work that has gone into the club in
recent times. If they are able to continue in the same
manner then they should be able to look forwards to a
bright and successful future for many years to come.
