The Poulton District Primary League returned to Highbury Stadium earlier on this month, with teams ranging from Under-7s all the way up to Under-16s taking part in the annual event to see if their team could finish their respected seasons with some silverware!
It was a hectic two weeks for Fleetwood Town staff and the PDPL committee as games never stopped on the days, they took place as the Under-7s, Under-8s, and Under-9s all had their finals on the opening day, which was Saturday 7 May, a week after Town played their final game of the season against Bolton Wanderers.
Under-10s and Under-11s also had their finals on that weekend to round off the first batch of youth games at the Club’s ground, but the older age groups would be back not long after. Between that Tuesday and Thursday, the week after, the committee saw the Under-14s to Under-16s play their games, with the staff seeing their first 11v11 of the Cup schedule.
That week would end with the Under-12 and Under-13s featuring on the weekend, with some brilliant football being played. Here are the winners of all the competitions:
