Our Development Squad are halfway through their first season together and, with several players having stepped up to first team, not to mention sitting top of their league, it's going rather well.
We asked manager Paul Hill for his half-term report.

More good stuff from Pitch Publishing. I love a read about Victorian football, and this is the intriguing story of Nicholas Lane, the founder of the Corinthian Football Club, who wasn’t all he seemed…
