Here we share just some pictures of our kids getting to live the dream at the One Call Stadium – as well as other games in the Mansfield Youth Football League.
It’s not every day that you get to play at a professional stadium as a kid – or an adult for that matter – and it is no doubt an occasion that has lived long in the memory for any local youngster who had the pleasure.
Here we have plenty of pictures of cup finals from the Chad Youth League and some of cracking games from down the years.
If you’ve ever played for a junior team in our area, or you have a child who has, then you might be able to spot someone you know. Take a look and see if you can recognise a familiar face.
Share your memories and pictures of your time playing in the league via our social media channels.
17. Mansfield Town Ladies FC U11s and u13s
Mansfield Town Ladies FC U11s and U13s Yellows celebrate after they both won the Nottinghamshire Girls and Ladies League Plate finals for their respective age groups. Also would the chad be willing to do a bit of an article on our Female section especially the juniors. Three years ago we only had the senior ladies team but we now have 9 junior teams that we have started since the summer of 2015. We also now have an affiliation with Mini Kicks to get the girls they have training with them to get into teams, plus we are also part of the national wildcats project running Girls on sessions for ages 6-11. I just thought would be something good to recognise locally what is being done for Girls Football and to promote what we are doing Many thanks Andy Arnott Vice-Chairman Mansfield Town Ladies FC.
