NEW Padiham Football Club Under 18s manager Chris Hall will be holding trials for his team on Sunday.

Hall has been involved in grassroots for more than 15 years and in recent times had great success with Pro-Future JFC, winning numerous trophies including the English and English International Cups.

He said: “ I’m really looking forward to the challenge ahead and I would like to thank Padiham for this great opportunity, it was very important to me that I joined a club that are keen to give youth players a chance to push into first team football.

“I’m looking to put together a group of lads that are keen to work hard and progress to the next level.”

Padiham will complete in the Lancashire Floodlit League with matches played midweek, giving players the chance to play at some of the better Non League grounds.

The team will also play in the FA Youth Cup and Lancashire FA Under 18s County Youth Cup.

The club will hold trials on for the team on Sunday at Burnley College, Princess Way between 10-11am.
