The U16 squad began their Manchester County Cup Campaign meeting a formidable Salford side Del La Salle breezing through the first round with a home result 4-1. The second round draw saw them meet the mighty Manchester Corinthians at Ten Acres Lane of a cold and windy January morning. The Titans arrived with a positive mental attitude and the desire to win became apparent as the first half finished at 0-4, the final score reflecting the disciplined squad managed by Mike Turner with a convincing 1-8 score line.

The quarter final is to be played on Sunday 6th March and is being held at Manchester Health Academy 1.30pm kick off. All spectators welcome.

We caught up with Mike Turner ahead of the training preparation who shared the following “ I’m delighted for the players, most of the group have been involved with the club since U6. At times its a difficult journey but as a grassroots manager you learn by experience and draw on knowledge from people around you. For example, over the recent weeks the squad have enjoyed the additional opportunity to train with the youth team manager Paul Fay. It has given the players the insight and exposure to the next stage in how to develop their game as individuals and as a group”.
