Youth Academy look forward to beginning of new season

The u10s had their first competitive game last Saturday and the talent from mini soccer continues to flow as they started off with a win playing some great football against a good Carniny side. Well done Andrew Whitbread and his young starts.

The u11s have continued where they left off in May.Last years league winning side have started off well with strong performances in recording wins over Ards and Carniny.

The u12s have retained the strong squad they had last year and will be looking to push on,they have the potential as they proved winning a recent tournament in Coleraine against some strong North West outfits.

The u13s and u14s have made some great new signings and again have the potential to be there or there abouts this season with some new coaches coming on board as well.

The u17s have amalgamated with Carniny and should prove to be a formidable outfit this year with the best the town has to offer at this age group now playing as one combined team displaying their talents also in the renowned Lisburn Youth League.

Congratulations also to Lee O'Brien from the under 11s, the only boy selected from the recent Rangers Open Days at the Showgrounds to now go over to Scotland and train with the Youth Set up from the Scottish giants.

The Rangers coaches have described Lee as an "exceptional talent", something the coaches at BUYA have known for a while.
