Welcome to the Deeping Blues Under 10s. I hope all the players have had a well deserved break after a long, successful season. Last season saw us accomplish my prediction that we would finish 3^rd in a very tough league(well done to Blue Zone champions, Rippingale), as well as winning the Deeping Tournament and runners-up in the Bourne Tournament. The icing on last seasons cake was our surprising, but well deserved Fair Play Award. To win this award, while finishing the league in 3^rd place, proves that a team can be extremely competitive but still play fairly and sportingly. Something the whole team, coaches and parents can be very proud of and something many Premiership teams could learn from.

The whole team is extremely proud of one of our players, James Roberts, who left the team during the season to be a player in the Peterborough Utd Academy and we all wish him well. His place has been more than ably taken by Joshua Cameron, who as joined us from Glinton. He has already made an impact with the team, winning tournament medals with us as well as with the Clarets, while at the Yaxley Tournament on loan for the day. Goodbyes have also been said to Alex Blades and we all wish him well in his footballing future.

With 11 aside soccer only a year away, this is a big season, with some big decisions to be made at the end of it. If all the Blues players repeat last seasons form, ability, dedication and team commitment then Im sure Dave will have a huge headache with next years U11 team selection as well as the Blues having another hugely successful U10 season.

Cheers

Dean
