As we progress through the next few months we will have a spotlight on each to bring you more details.

Roman Hits Five

Roman earned a well deserved man of the match after hitting five goals against Preston in midweek. Roman, who in the first term played at the back, has recently been moved forward as a striker, and tore apart the Preston back four, with lightening pace and superb finishing. Roman had hit 5 goals past the North end keeper, well before midway in the second half, and could have had more.

Well done Roman!

Squad B V Everton Development Team

On the same day as the A squads fixture the B squad hosted an Everton Development team at Bolton arena. Led by Craig, the lads had a shaky start to the game with the everton team putting 5 goals past them in the first half, however, with a weakened team due to some of the lads playing with the A team, and without an established Goalkeeper, the team held their heads high to come back in the second half with three fantastically worked goals, one supplied by Month long student josh and two scored by French student Hadrien. The game ended 6-3 to everton, however Craig took some real positives from the performances and the attitude and work rate of all the lads in the second half was first class, he's now looking forward to the next fixture with the fire service.

A Victory at Preston

Last week saw the A squad win a in tremendous fashion at Preston, 6 - 1. With the team now looking more settled and communicating well, the lads over powered the Preston scholars to the victory. We had a stronger team out, and in some positions older lads, however this as quoted by the Preston coaches was a good game for them to see how their young stars would hold up should they need to step up into the youth team.

Our lads were organised, competed physically and were fantastic in possession. they had come on leaps and bound from a few matches ago.

in front of player agents, club scouts and Jon Morgan from Edukick inc, the lads did them self proud.

Well done to them all, a great result, but more importantly a great team performance and some fantastic individual performances.

Offical Team Picture

Last week, during the visit by General Manager f Edukick inc, Jon Morgan, we had the chance to get pitch side to have an official team picture with all the lads. Unfortunately one or two were ill on the day so missed out, therefore a little later in the term we will have to try again. But most were there and don't they look good.

Not many lads get a chance to go pitch side of a premiership stadium for a team photo, so what a great picture for their files and memories.

Visit By Jon

Jon Morgan, General Manager of Edukick inc made the trip from Canada to See first hand how the lads were going on.

During his trip to the North of England, Jon had a chance to meet all the lads, take loads of pictures and videos, but more importantly see the one of the teams play in a fantastic victory in Preston.

Jon, as most parents and students know, is the first port of call in the booking and registering of the Edukick England/Bolton wanderers year long football studies programme. As our international partners, every year Jon likes to come to see the programme running, and this year saw the best year yet, with two busy squads competing and being able to be involved in this years team photo.

Jon & Joey from Edukick are both keen to see the lads again soon and will be in Madrid to see those who are travelling to compete at Easter.

The Lads Meet the Preston Coach

The 6 lads have taken to the pitch with the PNE coach and receive the first instructions, in what looks like it's going to be a tough session.
