Lydney Town
“As a local business I thought
I would help out our local
football team in terms of
sponsorship. My son Toby is
currently playing for the U15s
having joined the club at the
U10s. It’s great seeing how
the youth section has grown
over the years. We would like
to wish everyone at the club
all the best for the coming
season and best of luck to
the new first team manager
Richard Kear.”

to focus solely upon their senior
section however and this is reflected
by the fact that they also have a
thriving youth set up. This part of the
club looks to provide young players
from the local community with an
opportunity to play the game in
a safe and enjoyable environment
whilst 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, particularly in the
current financial climate and this is
an area they appear to have covered.
Coaching staff involved with
this part of the club are confident
that they’ve a number of players
currently involved with the potential
for a bright future in the game.
In order to help make sure
that these players enjoy a smooth
transition into the senior game they
also run additional sides. 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
part of the development process.

Another benefit of having extra
sides 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 work
commitments they have the option
of calling up replacements with a
limited amount of disruption.
There is much to admire about
the fine set up that Lydney Town
AFC currently has in place and this
is thanks to all of the hard work that
goes into the club. If they continue
in the same manner then they should
be able to look forwards to a bright
and successful future for many years
to come. Everyone at Football Focus
Magazine would like to take this
opportunity to wish them the best of
luck for the season ahead.
