So far this season their first team has made a fine start to
their league campaign having put together a record of eleven
wins, three draws and three defeats from their seventeen
league matches. This sees them sitting near the top of the table
with thirty-six points on the board.
This should provide them with a solid platform from which
to build as they look ahead to the rest of their campaign. As
long as they are able to retain their current group of players
they will be in with a good chance of going on to mount a
serious title challenge.
One of the highlights of the team’s performances has
been the attacking brand of football that they have been able
to produce. This has been reflected by the fact that they have
found the back of the net 61 times in the league alone at a rate
of more than three per game.
This will certainly have meant that any supporters
attending their matches will have been well entertained and
should encourage more of the local community to get behind

the side in future. This in turn has the potential to provide
them with a valuable source of additional revenue which is
particularly important in the current financial climate.
Football Focus Magazine recently caught up with their
Chairman Jed Hewitt to find out more about the good work
being carried out at the club. He told us, “I have been involved
for ten years and wanted to link Moors Youth FC into men’s
football as a feeder club (Fa Chartered Development Club).”
“The most rewarding parts of my role are seeing the club
progress forward and the development of local young players
to play at the highest level they can.
“The mood at the club is very positive with three teams
gaining promotion last season and that has moved forward to
this season with three teams unbeaten in their new leagues.
The plan is to get the second team closer to the 1st team so there
is a natural feed between the two teams and bring through any
other players that are good enough from the 18s and 3rd team.
“Youth football is very important to the club. We have
always been about developing young players which is why
we partnered up with Moors Youth, a very progressive and
organised club always setting standards on and off the pitch.
“We are a community club and encourage other groups to
use the club’s facilities. For example, the blind club, the deaf
club, head injury groups and many more use the facilities. The
club’s ambition is to relocate to a larger ground to accommodate
us all under one facility in order to allows us to continue to
progress.”
