Just wanted to let you know the great news about our further progression with Youth Development. As you know, some of our players that have progressed recently were successful products of our U18's who entered and were very successful in the South West League. Unfortunately we did not get a team into this league this season, but you have seen the young men progress within our U21 Development Squad. Next season I have great pleasure in announcing that will enter an U18's team into the South West League and they will be managed by Simon Cassin & Marcus Browning. From Dorset Youth, into South west football & the U21 Development - this structure will help Poole Town FC to not only attract the best but continue to be the best.

3 of these players will be experiencing the 1st team environment tonight and will warm up with the squad. I will add Simon's details to the front page later and will try and get a trial at Tatnam either at the end of this season or the beginning of next.

I would formally like to welcome both Simon & Marcus to Poole Town as part of our management team.
