Pagham been able to produce. This has been reflected by the fact that they have already racked up 36 goals 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 the future. This in turn has the potential to provide them with a valuable source of additional revenue. Pagham FC is not a club to focus solely upon their senior section however and they also have a thriving youth side competing in the Southern Combination Youth U18 Football League. This side looks to provide young players from the local area with the opportunity to play the game in a safe and enjoyable environment. It is important for any club to be able to produce their own talent, particularly in the current financial climate and this is an area that they appear to have covered. It will certainly be exciting to see how their youngsters are able to progress over the years. With a positive start to their season for both the seniors and their youth Pagham is clearly a club that is making good progress. This is thanks to all of the hard work that is going into making them a success and hopefully they will be able to continue in the same manner for many years to come. www.sportip.biz 15
