🏆 They said a squad of U12s couldn’t win a U13s league in their first season together.
They were wrong.
Massive congratulations to the jewel in the crown of our grassroots sponsorships - Old Trafford Juniors U13s, Salford & District Division 1 Champions, and still not done, with a cup final to come. 🔥
Over half this squad are playing a full year above their age group.
Let that sink in.
And the title decider? They went 0-1 down. Most teams at that age fold. These lads? After their heroic goalkeeper saved a penalty, they roared back to win it 4-1.
Comeback kings. 👑
Behind every great team is a great coach, and Ricardo has built something genuinely special here.
The culture, the belief, the relentless work ethic. That’s his fingerprint all over this title. That never-say-die mentality doesn’t appear by accident.
At , we’ve been proud to play our small part too. Several players in this squad have worked with us on technique, sprint speed, acceleration, agility, change of direction, and injury resilience, and you can see it out on the pitch. When you move better, you play better. It really is that simple.
This is what happens when young athletes get the right coaching around them. 💚
